A virtual number for Tinder is a rented mobile line that can be used in place of your own SIM card, so that your personal phone number is not given out to any online dating apps. Regardless of your location, we have virtual numbers from 12 countries with prices starting at just $8 a month. Your Tinder verification number stays only yours during the plan, so that even logging back in after a forgotten password is still possible.
When you join dating apps, the entered mobile number gets stored in Tinder's database. That number will be linked to your dating profile for as long as the Tinder account remains active. Matches never see it and there is no worry about that. However, there is always the possibility of databases getting leaked in which case it is going to be your rented number that will be revealed rather than your main private number.
Tinder login is done through your phone number and the same number is requested again in case you forget your password. If your rented number expires, then email recovery becomes the only option that remains available to reset the password. Keeping the rented number active will enable you to use the login codes whenever you need them.
On free temporary numbers for SMS, every incoming message is displayed on a page that can be refreshed by everyone on the internet. This means that your Tinder verification code is visible, and so is the fact that you have an account on a dating app. With a rented line, there is only one inbox and it belongs to you.
Changing your phone number does not mean losing your account. Simply go to Tinder Account Settings, enter your new number in the Phone Number field, and confirm with a Tinder verification code. All your matches, messages, and swipes will remain intact. Only the login number will be changed.
The rental period is chosen based on how long you plan on using Tinder. If you want to try using it for a few weeks, you can go for a short-term rental plan, while a long-term virtual number plan costs less per month. There are no fixed contracts or delays involved.
Bumble, Hinge and the other dating apps can also be verified by the same rented line, meaning that a new number does not have to be bought for each one. Your whole dating presence is run on a single line, and it is not the line that your friends and coworkers already have saved on their phones.
Browse the list by country and choose the Tinder verification phone number that suits you. The price is shown next to each one.
By card, by app balance or in crypto. Your virtual number is activated as soon as it goes through.
Open Tinder and choose to continue by phone instead of email. Your new number is typed in, and then the code is requested.
The code arrives in your eSIM Plus inbox. It is copied into Tinder, and after that the profile is live.
You shouldn't use your regular mobile number, which gets messages from your bank, for dating app verification. You need to get yourself a rented Tinder virtual number that keeps your personal number from going astray. In essence, just for a small fee, you can buy yourself peace of mind.
You can conveniently use a personal number for friends and acquaintances, as opposed to a second one intended for online dating. Your contacts will be less likely to find out about your Tinder profile since it's not connected to a number saved on their phone. And you still stay reachable by your main line since it's on your phone too.
When signing up for Tinder, it doesn't mean that you have to give out your personal contact number to a service that you are just testing out. Just get a virtual number to complete your account with Tinder SMS verification, and start swiping on Tinder while being safe. If you find that you do not like the service anymore, just stop using that number.
Roaming fees on a single SMS code are a silly way to spend money. Pick up a local number in the country you landed in and the code comes through locally. You start swiping on Tinder without a phone number that depends on your home carrier.

Get a Virtual Number
Yes, that's what these Tinder verification numbers are rented for. You type it into the sign-up screen the same way you'd type your own personal number, Tinder texts the code over as an SMS, and you're in with a new account. You will not be asked to submit any personal information to get the Tinder SMS verification code. The Tinder verification number will only be yours during your plan and the SMS codes will not be exposed to others online.
No, there is no possibility of this happening. Your phone number is not visible on your dating profile, and no one can ask for this information from Tinder either. The only person who can hand it over is you, in a message if you decide to share it.
No, it will not ban an account that is created with virtual numbers. Only misconduct can result in the flagging of an account, such as being reported by other users and sending a lot of spam messages. However, free virtual numbers can be flagged by Tinder, especially those that were used by numerous users before the account was created.
A privately rented tinder verification number is highly unlikely to get banned for being virtual.
The time it takes to get the verification code is the same from any cell phone. The phone number that is used to sign up for Tinder is a real one. That's why the code will be delivered via a carrier network, meaning that the message will arrive through the same channels as other messages. If the code is not arriving right away, try sending it again through Tinder.
Wait for two minutes and try sending the code again. This should normally work, if it isn't delivered that way either, visit the inbox of your eSIM Plus account, since it may appear there without sending out a notification if they're off on your phone.
In case your inbox is still empty after a few tries, contact our 24/7 customer support.
No, the Tinder app determines who should be shown to you depending on your phone's location and the set distance across different cities. It does not take into account your phone code, for example, using an American number in Berlin will not stop Tinder from showing you people from Berlin.
Nevertheless, the country of your number plays a role in pricing and in terms of successful SMS delivery.
The account's still there. Getting into it is the problem. An expired number goes back in the pool and someone else can end up with it, which takes your SMS login and your password recovery along with it. Email's what's left. Easiest fix is renewing before the date, or moving the account onto a number you're keeping.
Yes. Account Settings, then Phone Number, put the new one in, confirm the code. Nothing else moves. Your matches, your conversations, the whole swipe history, all of it stays with the account, because Tinder treats the number as your key rather than your identity. Just do it before the old line expires, not after.
You can. Bumble, Hinge, Grindr, the same line verifies all of them the way it verifies Tinder. One catch: most of these apps allow only one account per number. So you get one profile on each, not several on the same one.
$8 a month for US, UK and Canada. The Netherlands is $10, Australia $10.75, and Poland, Brazil, Puerto Rico and Israel are $11. There are lines in 12 countries in the app. Billed monthly, no contract, and the three and twelve-month terms bring the price down if you know you'll keep it.
There are also free temporary number for SMS you could try out to see how it works.
