Signal 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 Signal, and the Signal code arrives in your account by itself, seconds after Signal 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
- Search Signal inside SMS For U.
- Choose the market you want the Signal number to come from, out of whatever the app currently offers.
- One confirmation later the number belongs to you.
- Put it into Signal at the registration screen on first start and request your code.
- Signal texts it over, SMS For U catches it for you, and you copy it across.
Why a phone number is asked for
Signal is built around a phone number: it is the account name, the key your contacts reach you by and the thing you sign in with. Signal asks for it on the very first screen, the moment you open the app. The number goes in at: the registration screen on first start. Signal can ask for the same number again later — on a new device, after a password change or during a routine check. Bear that in mind before you tie an account to a number you will not have access to in a month.
What the code looks like
Signal sends a 6-digit code by SMS, and on some accounts as a voice call instead. Whatever Signal texts to the number is delivered into your SMS For U account automatically, a few seconds behind Signal, with nothing to forward. The window Signal allows is short, so do not leave the code sitting in your account. One number normally carries one Signal account.
Countries we serve
Below are the 50 markets we hold numbers in, Signal included. Treat them as our footprint rather than as today’s shelf: ranges run dry and are topped up again while you read this, so a market listed here may be unavailable for Signal within the hour. The country screen in the app is where that question is answered honestly for Signal, because it is the only thing that updates as fast as the ranges do.

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