# A real phone number for Steam

A phone number on your Steam account is your fastest way back in if you forget your password, lose your phone or need to move the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator to a new device. Many players prefer a separate, long-term number for this instead of a personal SIM they might change. SMS Hallo gives you a real mobile number in the country of your choice, so you can create and secure your Steam account without sharing your personal number.

The Steam 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 Steam, 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

Usually, yes. Steam lets you add a phone number that can receive text messages to your account for recovery and for the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator, and an SMS Hallo real mobile number receives Steam's confirmation code in your dashboard. Steam decides which numbers it accepts and says it does not accept VoIP numbers; if your number is refused or the code never arrives, you can swap it free within 7 days or get a 100% refund.

## How Steam verifies your number

Steam does not need a phone number to create an account; your account starts with an email address, and Steam Guard sends codes by email by default once that email is verified. A phone number comes in later, when you add it under Account Details, Contact Info, or when you set up the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator in the Steam Mobile App. In both cases Steam sends an SMS with a confirmation code that you type in to prove the number is yours.

Valve strongly recommends adding a phone number because it makes account recovery much easier. With a verified number you can reset your password by SMS, move the Mobile Authenticator from one phone to another, and generate backup codes, which requires entering an SMS code sent to the number. Only one phone number can be linked to a Steam account at a time, and Steam says you can set up the authenticator without a number by choosing the "I don't have access to a phone number" option, though you lose those SMS recovery options.

Steam states that it does not allow certain numbers, including VoIP numbers and numbers that cannot receive texts, and that some carriers that use VoIP technology are not supported. SMS Hallo rents real mobile numbers in the local mobile format, but Steam makes its own decision when you enter a number. Steam also notes that its texts can come from a 6-digit sender, that it pauses SMS if too many were sent recently, and that it sometimes delivers codes through Telegram in countries where the number has an active Telegram account.

Steam allows the same number on more than one account, but it says accounts sharing a number may be treated as the same identity, and for some games a VAC or game ban on one account also applies to other accounts with that number. That is a strong reason to keep one dedicated number for your own account and never use a number for anything that breaks the Steam Subscriber Agreement, which SMS Hallo's Acceptable Use Policy also forbids.

## How to verify Steam with an SMS Hallo number

- **Pick the number's country** — Choose the country you live in or the country your Steam account is registered to, then rent a real mobile number on SMS Hallo and pay with USDT or USDC.
- **Open Account Details** — In the Steam client or website, open your profile name menu, select Account Details, and under Contact Info choose Add a phone number.
- **Enter the number in international format** — Select the right country prefix and enter the number exactly as shown in your SMS Hallo dashboard, then select Next.
- **Type the confirmation code** — Open your SMS Hallo inbox, copy the code with one tap and enter it in Steam before requesting another one.
- **Finish your recovery setup** — If you use the Steam Mobile App, add the authenticator and write down the recovery code it shows, then turn on auto-renew for the number.

## Troubleshooting Steam verification

### Steam says the number is VoIP or not allowed

Steam decides which numbers it accepts. Use the free replacement within 7 days to try another number in the same country, or request a 100% refund if it doesn't work with Steam.

### The SMS does not arrive

Wait a few minutes and use the resend link once. Steam pauses SMS when too many were sent, so repeated requests can make it slower. If nothing arrives, swap the number free within 7 days or request a refund.

### "Invalid phone number" or wrong country

Check that the country prefix matches the number and that you did not add an extra leading zero. Steam guesses your location, so select the country manually if needed.

### Steam says the code is wrong

Only the newest code works. If you pressed resend, use the latest message in your SMS Hallo inbox.

### Trading or Market is on hold

Steam places temporary trade and market restrictions after some security changes, such as moving or removing the authenticator. This is a Steam rule and not related to the number.

### Code sent to Telegram instead

Steam says it sometimes uses Telegram for delivery in some countries. If the number has no Telegram account, the code comes by SMS; if it is unclear, ask Steam to resend.

## Which country to choose for Steam

For Steam, the most sensible choice is a number from the country where you live and where your Steam account and payment method are registered. It keeps your contact details consistent with the rest of your account, which helps if you ever go through Steam Support's recovery process. Do not pick a country to change store pricing or region; a phone number is for security and recovery only. No country is certain to be accepted, so rely on the free replacement and refund if Steam declines a number.

## Steam number FAQ

**Do I need a phone number to create a Steam account?**

No. Steam accounts are created with an email address. A phone number is optional but recommended by Valve because it makes recovery much easier.

**Can I use the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator without a phone number?**

Steam says yes: choose "I don't have access to a phone number" during setup. You then lose SMS recovery, so adding a number you keep is the safer setup.

**Does Steam accept VoIP numbers?**

No. Steam says it does not accept new VoIP numbers. SMS Hallo numbers are real mobile numbers, but Steam still decides, so the 7-day free replacement and refund cover you.

**Can I put the same number on two Steam accounts?**

Steam allows it, but warns that accounts sharing a number may be treated as the same identity and may share certain game bans. Use one number for your own account.

**What happens if my SMS Hallo number expires?**

An expired number may later go to someone else, and you would lose SMS password resets and authenticator moves. Renew it or set auto-renew while it is on your account.

**How do I change the number on my Steam account?**

Go to Account Details, Contact Info, Manage your phone number. If you no longer have the old number, Steam Support has to re-verify your ownership first.

**Can an SMS Hallo number help with store region or pricing?**

No, and we do not support that use. A phone number is a security and recovery detail; SMS Hallo's Acceptable Use Policy forbids using numbers to break an app's terms.

**Does SMS Hallo see my Steam account?**

No. SMS Hallo only receives the text messages sent to your number, and only you can see them in your dashboard.

**Can I use SMS Hallo numbers for Steam?**

Yes. SMS Hallo numbers are real mobile numbers and can be used to sign up for and verify Steam.

**Which country should I choose for Steam?**

Any of our 181 countries works. Many people choose the country where they live or where their Steam audience is. Popular choices are the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Canada.

**Can I receive future Steam codes on the same number?**

Yes. The number is yours for as long as you keep renting it, so password resets and new logins keep working.

**Is the number shared with anyone else?**

No. While you rent it, the number and its messages are yours alone.

**What if the number doesn't work with Steam?**

Replace it free with another number within 7 days, or get 100% of your money back. 100% refund if it doesn't work: if your number doesn't work with the app you rented it for — for example the verification code never arrives — tell us within 7 days and we refund 100% of what you paid for the number.
