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.

If the code doesn't arrive
Wait for the timer and request the code again, or choose the voice-call option. If the number still doesn't work with Instagram, replace it free with another +61 number within 7 days, or get a 100% refund.
Frequently asked questions
Can I sign up for Instagram with only a phone number?
Yes. Instagram lets you sign up with a phone number and confirm it with a 6-digit SMS code.
Can I use one number for Instagram and Facebook?
Yes. Both are managed in Meta's Accounts Center, so one number can confirm both of your own accounts.
Is SMS two-factor safe?
It is much safer than no two-factor. An authentication app is stronger; you can keep your SMS Hallo number for recovery.
Will my followers see the number?
No. Contact info added in Accounts Center is private unless you choose to show it on a business profile.
