4. Paste the code

   The SMS code appears in your browser within moments. No SMS in about 18 minutes? The credit returns automatically.

When a number from the United Arab Emirates makes sense for Tinder

Apps tend to tie your account to the country of your phone number. If you live in the United Arab Emirates, are moving there or spend time there, a number from the United Arab Emirates (+971) keeps the sign-up consistent with where you'll use Tinder.

It is also the simple fix when your own number is already linked to an old Tinder account, or when you'd rather not hand your personal number to another app.

What Tinder verification usually asks for

• Code format: a 6-digit SMS code, normally valid for a few minutes.
• Pick the country you will actually swipe in — Tinder's country selector must match the number.
• Enter the number without the leading country code if Tinder already shows it in the selector.
• One number per account. Tinder may refuse a number that has been used on another profile.
