Introduction

Amazon requires a phone number for account creation, two-step verification, seller registration, and region-specific account setup. Many users don't want to share their personal number — especially those creating multiple Amazon seller accounts, setting up accounts in different countries, or protecting their privacy.

With CodesSender, you can receive an Amazon verification code online using a temp number, a real SIM-based number where available, or a long-term rental number. This guide covers everything from choosing the right number type to completing Amazon OTP verification in minutes.

Why Amazon Asks for a Phone Number

Amazon uses SMS verification for several reasons:

Account creation — confirming you're a real user, not a bot.
Seller identity verification — required when registering as an Amazon seller.
Two-step authentication (2FA) — adds a security layer at login.
Suspicious activity detection — Amazon may send a code if you log in from a new device or location.
Region-locked accounts — switching to a different Amazon marketplace often triggers SMS verification.

In each case, you need a working phone number that can receive the SMS code. A temp number from CodesSender gives you exactly that — a real number that accepts Amazon verification codes without tying your identity to the account.

What Type of Number Should You Use for Amazon?

CodesSender offers two main options for Amazon SMS verification:

SMS Activation — a one-time temp number. Ideal for single account creation or a one-off 2FA code. The number is active for a short period and receives one or a few SMS messages.
Phone Rental (7–30 days) — a real number you keep for long-term access. Recommended for Amazon seller accounts, ongoing 2FA, and any scenario where you may need to receive multiple SMS codes over time.

For most Amazon verification scenarios, a one-time SMS activation number works perfectly. If you're registering a seller account or expect repeated verification requests, a rental number is the safer choice.

Step-by-Step: How to Receive an Amazon Verification Code with CodesSender

Step 1 — Open Amazon and trigger phone verification

Go to the Amazon sign-up page or navigate to Account → Login & Security → Two-Step Verification. When Amazon asks for a phone number, stop and leave the page open.

Step 2 — Open CodesSender Activation page

Open codessender.com/activation in a new tab. If you don't have an account yet, sign up and add a small balance.

Step 3 — Select Amazon as the service

Search for "Amazon" in the service list and select it, or go directly to the Amazon activation page. You'll see available countries and pricing.

Step 4 — Choose your country and activate a number

For best results, use numbers from the United States, United Kingdom, or Germany. Click "Activate" to purchase the number. Copy it to your clipboard.

Step 5 — Enter the number into Amazon

Return to Amazon, paste the temp number including the correct country code, and click Send Code or Verify.

Step 6 — Retrieve your SMS code

Back in CodesSender, click "Get SMS". The Amazon verification code will appear. Enter it into Amazon to complete verification.

Recommended Countries and Phone Codes for Amazon Verification

Not all countries work equally well for Amazon SMS verification. Based on success rates, here are the best options available on CodesSender:

Country	Code	Best For	Number Type
United States	+1	Amazon.com, Seller accounts	Temp / Rental
United Kingdom	+44	Amazon.co.uk, 2FA	Temp / Rental
Germany	+49	Amazon.de, Seller verification	Temp / Rental
Canada	+1	Amazon.ca	Temp
Japan	+81	Amazon.co.jp	Temp
France	+33	Amazon.fr	Temp

US numbers (+1) are the most versatile and work across most Amazon marketplaces. For local Amazon sites like Amazon.de or Amazon.co.jp, a local number often improves the success rate.

SMS Activation vs Rental Number for Amazon

Choosing between a one-time activation and a rental number depends on how you plan to use your Amazon account:

Feature	SMS Activation	Rental Number
Duration	One-time (minutes to hours)	7–30 days, extendable
Best for	Single account creation, one 2FA request	Seller accounts, ongoing 2FA, account recovery
SMS codes received	1–3 messages	Unlimited during rental period
Cost	Lower, starting from ~$0.50	Higher, starting from ~$5–15 per week
Number reuse	No	Yes, number is yours for the rental period

If you're just creating a shopping account, a temp SMS activation number is enough. For Amazon seller accounts where you may need to receive codes for identity re-verification or login 2FA months later, a rental number gives you consistent access to the same number. CodesSender offers rental options for Amazon on the Amazon rental page.

Common Problems When Verifying Amazon and How to Fix Them

Problem	Cause	Fix
SMS code never arrives	Number already used or blocked by Amazon	Activate a fresh number from a different country
Amazon says "invalid phone number"	Wrong country code or format	Double-check the country code; use the number exactly as provided
Verification fails after entering code	Code expired or already used	Request a new code and enter it immediately
Amazon requests phone re-verification later	Suspicious activity trigger or login from new IP	Use a rental number to keep the same number available
Number works but code is for wrong marketplace	Mismatch between number country and Amazon site	Use a number from the same country as the Amazon marketplace (e.g., +49 for Amazon.de)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to use a temp number for Amazon verification?

Yes. Using a temp number to receive an SMS code is legal. Make sure your use of Amazon complies with Amazon's Terms of Service. CodesSender provides numbers for legitimate SMS activation and OTP verification purposes.

Does Amazon accept virtual or temp numbers?

Yes. The numbers provided by CodesSender are real SIM-based numbers where available, not fake or generated numbers. Amazon treats them as standard mobile numbers and delivers SMS codes normally.

Can I use the same temp number for multiple Amazon accounts?

No. Each Amazon account requires a unique phone number. After you use a temp activation number once, it cannot be reused for another Amazon account. For multiple accounts, activate a fresh number each time or consider rental numbers for long-term management.

What countries work best for Amazon.com verification?

US numbers (+1) are the most reliable for Amazon.com. UK numbers (+44) and Canadian numbers (+1) also work well. CodesSender offers all of these on the US Amazon activation page and UK Amazon activation page.

Can I get an Amazon OTP code for two-factor authentication?

Yes. If you've set up 2FA on your Amazon account, a temp number or rental number from CodesSender will receive the OTP code. This is especially useful if you're traveling or don't have access to your registered phone.

Do I need a VPN to verify Amazon with a temp number?

Not specifically for phone verification. However, if you're creating an Amazon account in a marketplace different from your physical location, Amazon may flag the IP mismatch. In those cases, pairing a temp number with a VPN in the same country can improve success rates.

When to Use a Rental Number for Amazon

While SMS activation is perfect for quick account setup, some Amazon use cases require a rental number:

Amazon Seller Central — sellers may need to receive SMS codes for identity verification, disbursement confirmations, and security checks throughout the account lifecycle.
Amazon 2FA with frequent logins — if you regularly log into Amazon from new devices or browsers, a rental number ensures you always receive the 2FA code.
Account recovery — if you lose access to your Amazon account, the registered phone number is the primary recovery method. A rental number you control prevents account lockout.
Multiple marketplace management — users managing Amazon accounts across several regions can rent numbers in each country for consistent verification access.

CodesSender offers Amazon rental numbers in the US, UK, Germany, Spain, and Turkey. Visit the Amazon rental service page to check current availability and pricing.
