Amazon Phone-Verification Essentials
Knowing how Amazon currently handles verification makes registration smoother:
- Amazon's first registration step asks for a mobile number or email — either one gets you started. Even with an email signup, a phone number may still be requested at your first order or when risk control is triggered.
- The code is 6 digits and can arrive via SMS, voice call, or email. Two-step verification (2SV) supports SMS, voice, and an authenticator app.
- Amazon now recommends an authenticator app as the primary method and a phone number as backup, so use a virtual number for initial verification only.
- A temporary number can pass a buyer account's phone verification, but it cannot satisfy Seller Central's KYC identity check.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to register an Amazon account with a virtual number?
Virtual numbers are a legitimate service; the numbers are one-time and used only to receive codes, which protects your privacy. Note that temporary numbers may trigger Amazon risk control or extra review, so use them for initial verification only and bind a long-term email and two-step verification soon after.
What if I don't receive the code?
SMS-Act's tested success rate is about 95%. If it doesn't arrive, just switch country or route and request a new temporary number; if it still fails, credits are automatically returned to your account — no manual request needed. For help, email support@sms-act.net during business hours.
Can I use the same number for multiple Amazon accounts?
We recommend one number per account for stability and security. Numbers are one-time temporary numbers; SMS-Act does not offer number rentals or long-term dedicated numbers.
How much does Amazon verification cost?
SMS-Act uses flat pricing: every service and country is 8 credits per use, and Amazon is also 8 credits. Pricing is transparent with no hidden fees, and credits are auto-returned on failure.
