Wallapop asks for a phone number before it lets you in. No code, no charge: a number that never receives one costs you nothing. You choose the market, we hand you a real number, and whatever Wallapop texts to it appears in your SMS For U account within seconds of Wallapop releasing it. The same catalogue covers 2,400 services and buys numbers on four continents.
How you get your code
- Look Wallapop up in the SMS For U catalogue.
- Take a country from the ones the app is offering for Wallapop today.
- Confirm the order; the Wallapop number is live from that second.
- Type it in at the sign-up form on Wallapop and ask to be sent the code.
- The code turns up in your SMS For U account unprompted. Copy it into Wallapop and you are through.
Why a phone number is asked for
Wallapop 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. Wallapop asks for it on the sign-up form, before the account exists at all. The number goes in at: the sign-up form. Wallapop normally asks for the number once and does not come back to it afterwards.
What the code looks like
Wallapop sends a short numeric code by SMS. Whatever Wallapop texts to the number is delivered into your SMS For U account automatically, a few seconds behind Wallapop, with nothing to forward. Codes from Wallapop go stale fast; use it as soon as it lands rather than later. One number normally carries one Wallapop account.
What can go wrong
Wallapop accepts numbers from many countries but not from all of them. Which countries work for Wallapop changes over time, because Wallapop 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 Wallapop take it. Nothing on this page is a promise that Wallapop will accept a number, and no success figure is printed here, because any figure would be out of date by the time you read it.
Countries we serve
Below are the 50 markets we hold numbers in, Wallapop 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 Wallapop within the hour. The country screen in the app is where that question is answered honestly for Wallapop, because it is the only thing that updates as fast as the ranges do.

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