A real phone number for Epic Games

Epic requires two-factor authentication for things like sending gifts in Fortnite, taking part in Fortnite competitive events and claiming some free games on the Epic Games Store, so many players add a phone they will keep as their SMS second factor. A number you rent on SMS Hallo is not tied to a SIM card, so switching phones or carriers does not break your Epic sign-in. SMS Hallo gives you a real mobile number in the country of your choice, so you can create and secure your Epic Games account without sharing your personal number.

The Epic Games code lands in your SMS Hallo inbox within seconds and is ready to copy with one tap. Because you keep the number for as long as you like, you can always receive new login codes and recover your account later.

Every number includes unlimited incoming SMS, 500 outgoing SMS and 1,000 calling minutes a month, plus unlimited incoming calls, from just $1.80 a month (billed yearly).

And it's risk-free: if the number doesn't work with Epic Games, replace it free within 7 days or get a 100% refund.

Every number includes

  • Unlimited incoming SMS — Receive every text and verification code, with no monthly cap.
  • 500 outgoing SMS / month — Reply and send texts from your number, anywhere in the world.
  • 1,000 calling minutes / month — Make calls from your number with a generous monthly allowance.
  • Unlimited incoming calls — Answer calls on your number as often as you like.
  • Keep it as long as you like — Renew monthly or for up to 12 months at a time. The number stays yours.
  • 7-day money-back guarantee — Not used it yet? Get a full refund within 7 days, no questions asked.
  • 7-day replacement guarantee — Doesn't work for you? Swap it for another number in the same country, free, in one click.
  • Works everywhere — or 100% refund — WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, Google and more. If it doesn't work, you get every cent back.
Short answer

Yes, in many countries. Epic Games offers SMS as one of its two-factor authentication methods, and an SMS Hallo real mobile number receives the SMS code in your dashboard. Epic decides which numbers it supports and says some regions are not supported for SMS; if the code never arrives you can swap the number free within 7 days or get a 100% refund.

How Epic Games verifies your number

Epic Games accounts are created with an email address, and a phone number is not what opens the account. Where a number matters is two-factor authentication (2FA): Epic offers the Epic Authenticator in its apps, third-party authenticator apps, email codes and SMS codes. If you choose SMS, Epic sends a security code by text every time you need to confirm a sign-in. Because SMS codes are sent every time you confirm a sign-in with that method, the number needs to keep working long after the day you set it up.

You turn 2FA on in the Password and security section of your Epic Games account. Under Two-Factor Authentication you select Set up next to the method you want, enter the code Epic sends, and the method becomes active; Epic also emails you a confirmation. If you use more than one method, you can mark your preferred one as primary.

Epic explains that 2FA protects the account even if someone learns your password, and it lists features that require 2FA, including sending gifts in Fortnite, joining Fortnite competitive events and claiming some free games on the store. Its safety page also mentions 2FA requirements for the EOS Developer Portal and the Support-A-Creator program. Enabling 2FA is also a simple way to protect purchases and in-game items tied to the account.

Epic notes that some regional phone numbers may not be supported for SMS 2FA and shows the error "SMS to this region is not supported" in that case, recommending a different number or another 2FA method. Epic also states that buying, selling and sharing accounts is against its Terms of Service; SMS Hallo numbers are meant for securing your own account, never for that.

How to verify Epic Games with an SMS Hallo number

  1. Choose a country — Rent a real mobile number on SMS Hallo from the country you live in, then pay with USDT or USDC. You can pay from your SMS Hallo wallet or directly for the number; the payment window shows the exact amount, the address or QR code and a 10-minute countdown, so send the exact amount on the network you picked.
  2. Open Password and security — Sign in at epicgames.com, open your account settings and go to Password and security. Use the same browser session you normally use for Epic, so the change is clearly made by you.
  3. Set up SMS authentication — Under Two-Factor Authentication, select Set up next to SMS and enter your SMS Hallo number with the right country code. Double-check that the country code matches the country you rented the number in.
  4. Enter the SMS code — Copy the code from your SMS Hallo inbox and enter it; Epic confirms the method is active and sends you an email. SMS Hallo detects the code in the message, so you can copy it with one tap instead of retyping it.
  5. Add a second method — Add the Epic Authenticator or an authenticator app too, pick your primary method and turn on auto-renew for the number. Using two methods means one lost device or number never locks you out of your library.

Troubleshooting Epic Games verification

"SMS to this region is not supported"

Epic does not send SMS 2FA to that region. Use the free replacement within 7 days for a number from a supported country you have a real connection to, request a 100% refund, or use another 2FA method.

No SMS code arrives

Wait a few minutes and request a new code once. If it still does not arrive, swap the number free within 7 days or request a 100% refund.

Setup shows an internal service error

Epic has a help article for the error saying an error occurred in its internal service. Wait a few minutes and try again before changing anything.

Code rejected as wrong

Codes are time-limited. Request a new one and enter the newest message from your SMS Hallo inbox right away.

Locked out after the number changed

If you lose access to your SMS 2FA, follow Epic's help article for being locked out by 2FA. Keeping a second method avoids this.

I changed the number and now SMS 2FA fails

Epic sends codes to the number saved in Password and security. Sign in with another 2FA method, remove the old number and add the current one.

Which country to choose for Epic Games

Pick a number from the country where you live and where your Epic Games account is set, because Epic says SMS 2FA is not supported in every region. A local number keeps your account details consistent and makes recovery simpler. Choosing a country will not change store prices or catalogs, and it should not be used for that. If Epic does not support SMS for the number you picked, use the free replacement or the refund. If you move abroad, keep your existing number renewed until you have switched your Epic 2FA to a method that does not depend on a phone number.
