Glovo will not let you finish without a phone number. No code, no charge: you pay nothing for a number that never receives one. SMS For U rents you a real one — pick a market, put the number into Glovo, and the Glovo code lands in your account seconds after Glovo sends it. Glovo is one of 1,400 services in the catalogue, with numbers from Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa.
How you get your code
- Open SMS For U and search for Glovo.
- Pick a country from the list the app shows for Glovo right now — that list is Glovo's own.
- Confirm, and the number for Glovo is yours straight away.
- Enter it at Glovo — the phone number screen at sign-up — and ask Glovo for the code.
- The Glovo code appears in SMS For U on its own. Copy it back into Glovo.
Why a phone number is asked for
Glovo uses the number to reach you about the order that is on its way, and to keep one account per person. Glovo asks for it on the sign-up form, before the account exists at all. The number goes in at: the phone number screen at sign-up. Glovo normally asks for the number once and does not come back to it afterwards.
What the code looks like
Glovo sends a short numeric code by SMS. The Glovo code shows up in your SMS For U account on its own, within seconds of Glovo sending it — nothing to refresh and nothing to forward. The window Glovo allows is short, so do not leave the code sitting in your account. One number normally carries one Glovo account.
What can go wrong
Glovo accepts numbers from many countries but not from all of them. Which countries work for Glovo changes over time, because Glovo adjusts its checks and because the available ranges of numbers change. That is the honest state of it — we can hand you a number, we cannot make Glovo take it. Nothing on this page is a promise that Glovo will accept a number, and no success figure is printed here, because any figure would be out of date by the time you read it.

Common questions
How do I get a Glovo verification code without my own SIM card?
Open SMS For U, search for Glovo and pick a country. You get a real phone number, you enter it at Glovo (the phone number screen at sign-up), and the code Glovo sends appears in your SMS For U account by itself. No SIM card is involved, and the Glovo number is not yours to keep.
How fast does the Glovo code arrive?
The Glovo code appears in your account within seconds of Glovo sending it. How long Glovo itself takes is up to Glovo and to the country the number comes from, which is why nothing here is worded as a promise.
What happens if no Glovo code arrives?
You do not pay for a Glovo number that brought no code. Cancel the order in the app and the payment is refunded as soon as the cancellation is confirmed. That is the whole rule, and it is why a failed Glovo attempt costs nothing: no code, no charge.
Which countries can I use for Glovo?
Glovo numbers come from the 50 markets listed on this page. Which of them can be picked for Glovo at this moment is on the country screen in the app: that list moves through the day, and a page in a search index cannot keep up with it.
Can I use the same number for Glovo again later?
A used Glovo number is not reserved for you indefinitely. Glovo normally does not come back to it after sign-up, but if you need lasting access to the Glovo account, use a number of your own.
