Walmart 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 Walmart texts to it appears in your SMS For U account within seconds of Walmart releasing it. The same catalogue covers 1,400 services and buys numbers on four continents.
How you get your code
- Open SMS For U and search for Walmart.
- Pick a country from the list the app shows for Walmart right now — that list is Walmart's own.
- Confirm, and the number for Walmart is yours straight away.
- Enter it at Walmart — the sign-up form — and ask Walmart for the code.
- The Walmart code appears in SMS For U on its own. Copy it back into Walmart.
Why a phone number is asked for
Walmart 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. Walmart asks for it on the sign-up form, before the account exists at all. The number goes in at: the sign-up form. Walmart normally asks for the number once and does not come back to it afterwards.
What the code looks like
Walmart sends a 6-digit code by SMS. The Walmart code shows up in your SMS For U account on its own, within seconds of Walmart sending it — nothing to refresh and nothing to forward. Codes from Walmart go stale fast; use it as soon as it lands rather than later. One number can usually serve more than one Walmart account, although Walmart may limit that.
Countries we serve
The 50 markets below are the ones we buy Walmart numbers in. They are examples of where we work and nothing more: a market on this list can still be empty for Walmart by lunchtime, because ranges get used up and refilled all day. So take the list as our reach, and take the country screen in the app as the answer to "can I have a Walmart number from here right now" — only the app knows that.

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