Frequently asked questions
What is Numbers for Dating?
Numbers for Dating rents real, non-VoIP mobile phone numbers for one-time SMS verification on dating apps such as Tinder, Bumble, Hinge and Grindr. You get the number, enter it in the app, and the SMS code appears in your browser.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There are no accounts. You buy credits as a guest and receive a credit code by email and on screen. That code is all you need to get numbers.
What happens if no SMS arrives?
Each number stays open for about 18 minutes. If no SMS arrives, the number is cancelled and the credit returns to your code automatically. You can also cancel earlier yourself.
Are these real phone numbers?
Yes. They are SIM-backed mobile numbers supplied by our provider, not VoIP numbers like Google Voice or TextNow — which many apps refuse.
Can I keep the number?
No. A number is rented for one verification window. You can request a second SMS on the same number while the window is open, but not days later. Add email or Google/Apple login to your account once you are in.
How long are credits valid?
Credit codes are valid for 90 days from purchase. Unused credits stay on the code until then.
Do you store my number or SMS code?
No. The number and code are sent to your browser and kept there. Our server keeps only what it needs to refund a credit, and deletes even that after a week.
Which countries are available?
70 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, most of Europe and several countries in Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. Availability changes minute to minute; the picker shows live stock for the app you choose.
Is this allowed?
Receiving a verification SMS on a rented number is legal. Each app has its own rules — use your real identity, one account per person, and no spam. We refuse use for fraud or harassment.
Ready to verify?
Pick your app and country. If no SMS arrives, the credit comes back automatically.
