When a number from Kenya makes sense for Match
Apps tend to tie your account to the country of your phone number. If you live in Kenya, are moving there or spend time there, a number from Kenya (+254) keeps the sign-up consistent with where you'll use Match.
It is also the simple fix when your own number is already linked to an old Match account, or when you'd rather not hand your personal number to another app.
What Match verification usually asks for
- Code format: numeric SMS code.
- Use email as your main login.
