A real phone number for Instagram
Instagram asks for a phone number at sign-up, for two-step verification and for account recovery. SMS Hallo gives you a real mobile number in the country of your choice, so you can create and secure your Instagram account without sharing your personal number.
The Instagram 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 Instagram, replace it free within 7 days or get a 100% refund.

Yes. Instagram can confirm a phone number with a 6-digit SMS code, and an SMS Hallo real mobile number receives it in your dashboard. You can use it at sign-up, for two-factor authentication or for account recovery, and if the code never arrives you get a free swap within 7 days or a 100% refund.
How Instagram verifies your number
Instagram lets you sign up with a phone number or an email address. When you choose a phone number, Instagram sends a 6-digit confirmation code by SMS. The same process applies when you add a number later in Accounts Center.
For two-factor authentication, Instagram lets you choose text message codes or an authentication app. With SMS selected, each login from an unrecognized device triggers a new code to your number, so the number needs to stay active.
Instagram may also send a code to your number when you reset your password or when it notices an unusual login. Requesting several codes quickly can lead to a short wait before a new one is sent.

Troubleshooting Instagram verification
The code does not arrive
Wait a minute and tap to resend once. If still nothing, swap the number free within 7 days or request a 100% refund.
"Please wait a few minutes before you try again"
Instagram is limiting requests. Wait for the pause to end before requesting another code.
"This number isn't available"
The number may already be linked to another account. Use the free replacement within 7 days to get a different number.
Wrong country format
Check that the country code in Instagram matches the number and that no leading zero was added.
Locked out after changing phones
Instagram will send a login code to the number, so keep it renewed. Save your backup codes when you enable two-factor.
Which country to choose for Instagram
Choose a country that matches where you actually live, work or post for, so login patterns look consistent to Instagram. Brands targeting a market often pick a number from that market. No country is certain to work every time, which is why the free replacement and refund exist.

Can I sign up for Instagram with only a phone number?
