Lazada wants a phone number, and it does not take no for an answer. No code, no charge: nothing is billed for a number that stays silent. So borrow one — choose a market in SMS For U, give the number to Lazada, and the Lazada code arrives in your account by itself, seconds after Lazada sends it. 1,400 services sit in the same catalogue, with numbers from markets across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa.
How you get your code
- Open SMS For U and search for Lazada.
- Pick a country from the list the app shows for Lazada right now — that list is Lazada's own.
- Confirm, and the number for Lazada is yours straight away.
- Enter it at Lazada — the sign-up screen — and ask Lazada for the code.
- The Lazada code appears in SMS For U on its own. Copy it back into Lazada.
Why a phone number is asked for
Lazada wants a phone number so buyers and sellers can be reached about an order, and so one person does not open an unlimited number of accounts. Lazada asks for it on the sign-up form, before the account exists at all. The number goes in at: the sign-up screen. Lazada normally asks for the number once and does not come back to it afterwards.
What the code looks like
Lazada sends a 6-digit code by SMS. Whatever Lazada texts to the number is delivered into your SMS For U account automatically, a few seconds behind Lazada, with nothing to forward. The window Lazada allows is short, so do not leave the code sitting in your account. One number normally carries one Lazada account.
What can go wrong
Lazada accepts numbers from many countries but not from all of them. Which countries work for Lazada changes over time, because Lazada 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 Lazada take it. We do not claim Lazada will take any given number, and we print no percentage, since a number like that would be stale within hours of being written.

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