Why Amazon Requires Phone Verification

Amazon uses phone verification for account security, two-step verification, and seller account setup. New accounts often require phone verification before making purchases, and Amazon may ask for re-verification when logging in from a new device.

International users creating Amazon accounts in regions where their local number isn't accepted, sellers needing multiple accounts for different marketplaces, and privacy-conscious shoppers all benefit from using a temp number — a real number that works globally without exposing personal data.

What Is a Temp Number (Virtual Phone Number)?

A temp number is a real phone number hosted online that receives SMS codes. Two types are available on CodesSender:

SMS Activation — one-time temp number for initial account verification.
Phone Rental (7–30 days) — a real number you rent for ongoing 2FA and recovery.

Step-by-Step: How to Verify Amazon Without Your Personal Number

Step 1 — Open Amazon and navigate to phone verification

Go to amazon.com. Create a new account or go to Account → Login & Security → Phone Number. When Amazon asks for a phone number, stop here.

Step 2 — Open CodesSender Activation page

Open codessender.com/activation in a new tab.

Step 3 — Select Amazon as the service

Search for "Amazon" and select it, or visit the Amazon activation page. Temp numbers from the United States work best for Amazon.com — use UK numbers for Amazon.co.uk.

Activate the temp number and copy it.

Step 5 — Enter the number into Amazon

Paste your temp number with the correct country code and click Continue.

Step 6 — Get your code

Click "Get SMS" in CodesSender. Enter the code into Amazon to complete verification.

Common Issues and How to Fix Them

Amazon asking to verify by call instead of SMS

Amazon sometimes offers a voice call option. If SMS isn't working, try a different temp number or a different country.

"This number is already associated with an account"

Release the temp number and request a new one.
