There is a phone-number wall in front of StockX, and this is the way through it. No code, no charge: a number that brings none is never billed. Rent one for the moment you need it: choose where it should come from, type it into StockX, and read the StockX code straight out of your SMS For U account. Behind that sit 2,400 services and numbers bought in markets on four continents.
How you get your code
- Start in SMS For U by looking up StockX.
- The app lists the countries open for StockX at this moment; choose one of those.
- Say yes, and a working number is on your screen immediately.
- Hand that number to StockX at the phone verification step in your profile, then trigger the code.
- Watch it land in SMS For U by itself, and paste it back where StockX asked.
Why a phone number is asked for
StockX 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. StockX does not ask during sign-up: the number is added later, in the account settings. The number goes in at: the phone verification step in your profile. StockX 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
StockX sends a short numeric code by SMS. Whatever StockX texts to the number is delivered into your SMS For U account automatically, a few seconds behind StockX, with nothing to forward. The window StockX allows is short, so do not leave the code sitting in your account. One number normally carries one StockX account.
What can go wrong
StockX accepts numbers from many countries but not from all of them. Which countries work for StockX changes over time, because StockX 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 StockX take it. We do not claim StockX will take any given number, and we print no percentage, since a number like that would be stale within hours of being written.
Countries we serve
Numbers for StockX come from the 50 markets listed below, and the same list stands behind every other service in the catalogue. Read it as where we work, not as a statement that each of them is free for StockX at this moment: ranges of numbers are used up and refilled through the day. Which of them you can really pick for StockX is on the screen in the app where you choose one, and that screen is the only current answer.

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