A real phone number for Threads
Creators and brands who post on Threads often keep a separate Instagram or Facebook account for public work, and verify that account with a second real mobile number instead of their personal SIM. Because SMS Hallo is private, only you see the messages that reach the number while you rent it, unlike free public receive-SMS sites whose inboxes anyone can read. Sign-up on SMS Hallo needs only an email and a password, with no SIM card, ID documents or local address. SMS Hallo gives you a real mobile number in the country of your choice, so you can create and secure your Threads account without sharing your personal number.
The Threads 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 Threads, 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.
Indirectly. Threads doesn't run its own phone sign-up: Instagram's help center says you create a Threads profile by signing in with your Instagram or Facebook account, so any phone verification happens on that account, and an SMS Hallo real mobile number can receive Instagram's or Facebook's code. Meta decides which numbers it accepts, so if the code never arrives you can swap the number free within 7 days or get a 100% refund.
How Threads verifies your number
According to Instagram's help center, to create a Threads profile you sign in with your Instagram or Facebook account. You can create one Threads profile for each Instagram and Facebook account you have. There is no separate Threads phone verification described on the page; the checks that matter are the ones on the account you sign in with.
Threads keeps some details tied to that account. Instagram's help center says you can edit your Threads bio, links and profile picture at any time, but other things such as personal information are changed on the Instagram or Facebook account you used. If that Instagram account is verified, a verification badge also shows on Threads; a verified badge from Facebook doesn't carry over. Profiles you follow and profiles following you on Threads don't change who you follow on Instagram or Facebook.
For Facebook, Meta's help pages say a new account is created with an email address or a mobile number, and a mobile number is confirmed with a code sent by text message. So if you plan to use Threads with a separate Facebook account, that is the point where an SMS Hallo number receives a code. For Instagram, see /instagram-number for how that sign-up works with an SMS Hallo number.
Because Threads relies on the underlying account, losing access to the number on that account can affect Threads too. Keep the number renewed, and use SMS Hallo only for your own accounts; its Acceptable Use Policy does not allow creating accounts in bulk or returning after a ban.
How to verify Threads with an SMS Hallo number
- Decide which account to use — Pick the Instagram or Facebook account you'll sign in to Threads with, or create a new one for this purpose. Each Instagram or Facebook account can have one Threads profile.
- Rent a number for that account — If you are creating a new account, rent a real mobile number on SMS Hallo in your country and pay with USDT or USDC. Plans start from $1.80 per month on the 12-month plan ($21.60 billed yearly), the same in every country.
- Verify the Instagram or Facebook account — Enter the number during sign-up and copy the code from your SMS Hallo inbox. Only you can see the SMS Hallo inbox while you rent the number.
- Create your Threads profile — Open Threads and sign in with that Instagram or Facebook account, then set up your profile. Your Threads followers are separate from your Instagram and Facebook followers.
- Keep the number linked — Add an email address to the account and turn on auto-renew for the number. The number stays linked to the Instagram or Facebook account, not to Threads.
Troubleshooting Threads verification
No code from Instagram or Facebook
Wait a minute and request a new code once. If nothing arrives, swap the number free within 7 days or request a 100% refund. Keep the sign-up screen open while you wait so the code matches the current attempt.
Threads asks you to sign in
Threads uses your Instagram or Facebook login. Sign in with the account you verified. If you have several Instagram or Facebook accounts, make sure you pick the one whose number you rented.
Can't change personal details on Threads
Personal information is managed on the Instagram or Facebook account used to create the profile.
Verified badge missing
Only a verified Instagram account's badge shows on Threads; a Facebook badge doesn't carry over. Badge rules come from Instagram's help center, not from SMS Hallo.
Number refused
Meta decides which numbers it accepts. Use the free replacement within 7 days for another number in the same country. If it still doesn't work, request a 100% refund within 7 days.
Lost access to the underlying account
Recover the Instagram or Facebook account first; Threads follows it. Keeping the number renewed makes recovery by text possible.
Which country to choose for Threads
Choose the country where you live or where your audience is, since the number sits on your Instagram or Facebook account rather than on Threads itself. Threads doesn't ask for a specific country. No country receives every code, so if one number doesn't work, use the 7-day replacement or the 100% refund. If you travel, your SMS Hallo inbox works in a browser from anywhere, so a number from your home country keeps working for sign-in codes while you are away.
