Dating apps require a phone number to create an account — and one number typically works for exactly ONE profile. If you want privacy, need a second account, or simply don't want to share your real number with dating platforms, you have two options: buy a separate SIM card or use virtual numbers.

In 2026, the fastest and most private way to verify dating app accounts is using virtual numbers from CodesSender. Starting from just $0.16 per verification. This guide shows you how to verify accounts on Bumble and other dating platforms without exposing your personal phone number.

Who Needs a Virtual Number for Dating Apps?

Privacy-conscious users — don't share your real number with strangers or dating platforms
Second accounts — separate profiles for different purposes without buying a new SIM
Travelers — verify with a local number when your SIM doesn't work abroad
Previously banned users — start fresh with a clean number
Testing profiles — A/B test different photos and bios
Multiple dating apps — unique numbers for Bumble and more from one dashboard

Why Dating Apps Require Phone Verification

Most major dating platforms now require SMS verification during sign-up to confirm you're a real person and keep fake profiles off the platform. Every new account must pass phone verification — without it, you can't access matches, messages, or any platform features.

Privacy-conscious users who don't want to share their real number with a dating platform, people creating separate accounts, and those who've lost access to their original number all need an alternative. A virtual temp number is the cleanest solution — a real, working number that receives your OTP code and verifies your dating account without exposing your personal SIM card.

What Is a Virtual Temp Number for Dating Apps?

A virtual temp number is a real phone number hosted online that receives SMS OTP codes exactly like a standard mobile number. Dating apps cannot tell the difference between a virtual number and a regular one. Two types are available on CodesSender:

SMS Activation — a one-time temp number for a single OTP verification. Best for creating a new dating profile quickly.
Phone Rental (7–30 days) — a real number that stays active long-term, useful if the app sends follow-up verification codes.

What You Need Before Starting

A CodesSender account (free to register)
A small balance to purchase a virtual temp number (as low as $0.16)
Your dating app open in browser or phone

The whole process takes under 5 minutes.

Step-by-Step: How to Verify Dating Apps Without Your Personal Number

Step 1 — Open your dating app and start sign-up

Open your dating app of choice ( Bumble etc.). Click Create Account or Sign Up. Fill in your basic details until the app asks for a phone number to send an OTP verification code — stop here.

Step 2 — Open CodesSender Activation page

Open codessender.com/activation in a new tab.

Step 3 — Select your country

Browse the available countries. For the best delivery rates on dating apps, United States, United Kingdom, and Germany numbers are most reliable. For the cheapest option, Colombia at $0.16 delivers great results.

Step 4 — Purchase your temp number

Select your country, activate the number, and copy your virtual temp number. Price is shown upfront with no hidden fees.

Step 5 — Enter the number into the dating app

Paste the virtual number into the app's phone verification field with the correct country code. Tap Send Code to trigger the OTP SMS.

Step 6 — Get your OTP code and verify

Switch back to CodesSender and click "Get SMS". Your OTP code appears within seconds. Enter it into the dating app to complete SMS verification and activate your account.

Best Countries for Dating App Phone Verification

United States — highest OTP delivery rate, works on virtually all dating platforms
United Kingdom — largest number pool (4,305+), excellent for UK-based dating apps
Canada — reliable, good for North American dating platforms
Australia — works well for AU-focused dating apps
Germany — largest number pool overall (3,228+), solid for European dating platforms

Common Issues and How to Fix Them

OTP code not arriving

Wait up to 60 seconds after clicking "Send Code". If the OTP SMS doesn't arrive, request a new code within the activation window. If it still fails, get a fresh virtual temp number from a different country and try again — full refund if no code arrives.

"This number is already registered"

The virtual temp number was previously used on that dating app. Release it on CodesSender and request a new one. Switching countries resolves this in most cases.

Dating app restricting the account after sign-up

Some dating platforms review newly created accounts. Wait 24 hours and try logging in again. Using Phone Rental ensures you have a real number active if the app sends a follow-up SMS for account confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a virtual temp number a real number dating apps accept?

Yes. Virtual temp numbers from CodesSender are real, functional phone numbers that receive SMS OTP codes. Dating app verification systems treat them the same as any standard mobile number.

Can I create multiple dating app accounts with virtual numbers?

Each dating app account requires a unique phone number. Each CodesSender activation gives you one temp number for one OTP verification. Purchase separate virtual numbers for each account.

SMS Activation or Phone Rental for dating apps?

SMS Activation is enough for creating a new account and completing OTP verification. Use Phone Rental if you want a real number that stays active for future logins, account recovery, or if the app sends additional SMS codes.

Do I need a VPN?

No VPN required. Virtual temp numbers work from any location.

Which dating apps can I verify with CodesSender?

CodesSender works with most major dating platforms that require SMS verification — including Bumble, OkCupid, and many others. Real SIM-based numbers ensure high delivery rates across all platforms.
