No code? Your money comes back.

Twitter 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 Twitter, and the Twitter code arrives in your account by itself, seconds after Twitter 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

  1. Look Twitter up in the SMS For U catalogue.
  2. Take a country from the ones the app is offering for Twitter today.
  3. Confirm the order; the Twitter number is live from that second.
  4. Type it in at Settings → Your account → Account information → Phone on Twitter and ask to be sent the code.
  5. The code turns up in your SMS For U account unprompted — copy it into Twitter and you are through.

Why a phone number is asked for

Twitter asks for a phone number to show that a profile belongs to somebody, and to keep a way back in when the password is gone. Twitter does not ask during sign-up: the number is added later, in the account settings. The number goes in at: Settings → Your account → Account information → Phone. Twitter 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

Twitter sends a 6-digit code by SMS. You do not have to go looking for it: the Twitter code drops into your SMS For U account by itself, seconds after Twitter lets it go. A Twitter code is only valid briefly, so enter it promptly. One number can usually serve more than one Twitter account, although Twitter may limit that.

Countries we serve

Below are the 50 markets we hold numbers in, Twitter 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 Twitter within the hour. The country screen in the app is where that question is answered honestly for Twitter, because it is the only thing that updates as fast as the ranges do.

Common questions

How do I get a Twitter verification code without my own SIM card?

Open SMS For U, search for Twitter and pick a country. You get a real phone number, you enter it at Twitter (Settings → Your account → Account information → Phone), and the code Twitter sends appears in your SMS For U account by itself. No SIM card is involved, and the Twitter number is not yours to keep.

How fast does the Twitter code arrive?

The Twitter code appears in your account within seconds of Twitter sending it. How long Twitter itself takes is up to Twitter and to the country the number comes from, which is why nothing here is worded as a promise.

What happens if no Twitter code arrives?

You do not pay for a Twitter 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 Twitter attempt costs nothing: no code, no charge.

Which countries can I use for Twitter?

Twitter numbers come from the 50 markets listed on this page. Which of them can be picked for Twitter 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 Twitter again later?

Sometimes. Twitter can ask for the same number again on a new device, and a used Twitter number is not reserved for you indefinitely. If you need lasting access to a Twitter account, use a number of your own.

Other services

All services

No code, no charge

You do not pay for a number that brought no code. If nothing arrives, cancel the order in the app; the payment is refunded as soon as the cancellation is confirmed. While it is being checked, the amount stays reserved rather than spent.

Cancelling is possible after a short wait at the start of an order — a number needs a moment before it can be reached at all, and a cancellation in the first seconds would be refused anyway.

If a number has already received one code and you need a second one, you can ask for another SMS on the same number. That is a separate, chargeable attempt and it is not refunded even if no second code arrives; the app shows what it costs before you confirm. There is no subscription: you pay per number, never per minute and never per month.

What this is not for

Do not use these numbers for banks, payment services, wallets or crypto exchanges. Those are excluded — and an account resting on a number that is not permanently yours is an account you can lose. The same goes for anything you need access to for years: government portals, tax accounts, insurance. A temporary number is for a one-off confirmation, not a lasting key to something important.
