A real phone number for foodpanda
foodpanda riders use your phone number to find you at the door, so the number on your account gets seen by many people. A separate SMS Hallo number keeps your personal SIM private, and it is useful if you are living in or visiting an Asian country where you do not yet have a local SIM. Because the dashboard runs in a browser, you can take a rider's call or copy an OTP from a laptop or a second phone, and your number stays the same if you change your main SIM or switch it off while abroad. SMS Hallo gives you a real mobile number in the country of your choice, so you can create and secure your foodpanda account without sharing your personal number.
The foodpanda 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 foodpanda, replace it free within 7 days or get a 100% refund.

Usually, yes. foodpanda asks for a mobile number when you register and may send a one-time PIN (OTP) to confirm it, and an SMS Hallo real mobile number receives an OTP sent by SMS in your private dashboard. foodpanda decides which numbers it accepts, so if the OTP never arrives you can swap the number free within 7 days or get a 100% refund.
How foodpanda verifies your number
foodpanda's terms for the Philippines explain that when you register you provide your full name, a valid email address, a mobile phone number and a password, and that foodpanda may send a one-time PIN (OTP) by SMS or through messaging platforms such as Viber or WhatsApp. When you log in with your mobile number, you may be asked to confirm your identity with such an OTP. Details can differ between foodpanda countries.
For an SMS Hallo number, choose SMS whenever the app lets you pick how to receive the OTP. Your dashboard shows SMS messages and incoming calls; it does not show codes sent to a Viber or WhatsApp account unless you have set up that app on the number yourself.
The number also matters at the door. foodpanda asks for your phone number at checkout so it and its riders can contact you about the order. foodpanda's Philippine customer pages say that if a customer cannot be reached on the number provided, and the order is not received within 10 minutes of arriving at the address, foodpanda may cancel the order without a refund. Keeping your SMS Hallo dashboard open during delivery lets you answer riders' calls in the browser dialer; incoming calls are unlimited.
Becoming a foodpanda rider is a separate process. foodpanda's rider pages list requirements that vary by country, such as proof of identity, age and residency rules, and a driving licence for motorised vehicles. A phone number does not replace these, and SMS Hallo's Acceptable Use Policy forbids using numbers to avoid identity checks or to create fake or duplicate accounts.
How to verify foodpanda with an SMS Hallo number
- Pick the country — Choose a number from the foodpanda country you order in, such as the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia or Taiwan, so riders see a local number.
- Rent the number — Create an SMS Hallo account with an email and password, choose a real mobile number and pay with USDT or USDC.
- Register in foodpanda — Enter your name, email and the new number with the correct country code, then set your password.
- Get the OTP by SMS — If foodpanda asks how to send the OTP, choose SMS. Copy it from your SMS Hallo inbox with one tap and enter it.
- Answer riders at delivery — Keep the dashboard open while your order is on its way. If a rider cannot reach you, foodpanda may cancel the order.
Troubleshooting foodpanda verification
The OTP does not arrive
Make sure you chose SMS, wait a minute or two and request it again once. If nothing arrives, use the free replacement within 7 days or request a 100% refund.
The OTP went to Viber or WhatsApp
Your SMS Hallo inbox only shows SMS and calls. Go back and pick SMS as the delivery option if foodpanda offers it.
Invalid mobile number
Check that the country code matches and that you did not add a leading zero after it.
The number is already registered
If foodpanda says the number is already registered, swap to another number in the same country with the free replacement, up to 3 times within 7 days.
The rider could not reach you
Open the call log in your dashboard to check for missed calls and call back. Keep the tab open until your order arrives, since foodpanda may cancel if you cannot be reached.
The OTP is rejected
OTPs expire quickly. Request a new one and use only the most recent code.
Which country to choose for foodpanda
Pick a number from the country where you order foodpanda. Riders can then call a local number, and the number matches the country code in the app. foodpanda runs separate apps and rules in different countries, so a local number is usually the smoothest match. If you move between foodpanda countries, you can keep one long-term number for an account you use often, since calls reach your dashboard from anywhere. foodpanda decides which numbers it accepts, so no country is promised; the 7-day free replacement and 100% refund apply if the OTP does not arrive.
