willhaben 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 willhaben, and the willhaben code arrives in your account by itself, seconds after willhaben sends it. 2,400 services sit in the same catalogue, with numbers from markets across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa.
How you get your code
- Start in SMS For U by looking up willhaben.
- The app lists the countries open for willhaben at this moment; choose one of those.
- Say yes, and a working number is on your screen immediately.
- Hand that number to willhaben 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 willhaben asked.
Why a phone number is asked for
willhaben 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. willhaben 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. willhaben normally asks for the number once and does not come back to it afterwards.
What the code looks like
willhaben sends a short numeric code by SMS. The message from willhaben arrives in your account unaided: no refreshing, no forwarding, and no second device involved in reading the willhaben code. Codes from willhaben go stale fast; use it as soon as it lands rather than later. One number normally carries one willhaben account.
What can go wrong
willhaben accepts numbers from many countries but not from all of them. Which countries work for willhaben changes over time, because willhaben 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 willhaben take it. Nothing here commits willhaben to an outcome, and no hit rate is on display: a published figure would be wrong long before you read it.

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