An Indian mobile number for your Amazon.in account
Amazon.in is Amazon's store for India, and in India the mobile number often doubles as a login. Your Amazon.in account relies on it for one-time passwords, and with Two-Step Verification on, for a security code at every new-device sign-in. Indians abroad who still order to family at home, or anyone who wants those OTPs off their main SIM, can use a separate Indian mobile.
This page is about buyer accounts on Amazon.in: the +91 format, how the codes keep coming, what to try when one is missing, and a plain note on selling, where Amazon's identity checks go well beyond a phone number.
Why an Indian number for Amazon.in
An Indian mobile fits the store and a delivery address in India. Your personal number, which already carries OTPs for payments, food delivery and cabs, doesn't have to carry Amazon's codes too.
For NRIs and students overseas, it's practical: codes reach a browser dashboard, so you can manage the account and help family place orders without keeping an Indian SIM on roaming.
Entering a +91 number on Amazon.in
Open Your Account, then Login & security, and add the number. With India selected, type exactly ten digits beginning with 6, 7, 8 or 9. Don't add a 0 or repeat 91.

These India numbers are listed right now (31 in total). Choose one on the country page; the hidden digits are assigned when your order is approved and the number is activated.
How Amazon verifies and re-verifies
Adding the number sends an OTP to confirm it. Afterwards, Amazon uses it for password resets, where the OTP lasts 10 minutes, and, if Two-Step Verification is enabled, for a code whenever you sign in on a new device or browser.
Amazon suggests adding a backup method such as an authenticator app or a second number. That way the account stays reachable even if one method is unavailable.
Step by step
- 01Sign up at SMSCreation with an email; no Aadhaar or PAN is needed.
- 02Choose India, select a number and pay in USDT or USDC.
- 03On Amazon.in open Your Account, then Login & security.
- 04Enter the ten digits with +91 and request the OTP.
- 05Copy the code from your dashboard inbox into Amazon.
- 06Switch on Two-Step Verification and add an authenticator app.
- 07Keep auto-renew on so codes don't stop.
Selling on Amazon.in: identity checks apply
Seller registration needs a phone number with country code, and Amazon also verifies your identity with a government-issued ID, via a photo or a video call. An Indian number from us can complete the phone step only. It does not satisfy the identity verification, so have your own documents ready if you plan to sell.
Use the number for your own account. It must not be used to get around an Amazon restriction or to open accounts in someone else's name; that breaks our Acceptable Use Policy.
Payment and code caveats
- The number receives OTPs, but it can't register a UPI app: UPI binds to the SIM inside your handset.
- If a code is missing, check the ten digits in Login & security, make sure Amazon's sender isn't blocked, then use Resend Code.
- No code prompt on a new device? Try Alternate Sign-in: password, wait for the code, add it to the end of the password.
- Still stuck? Choose Didn't Receive the Code, then Two-Step Verification Account Recovery.
Why it works with WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram & Google
Apps check more than the digits: they look up the line type, the country format and whether the number can actually receive their code. Every SMSCreation number is a real mobile number in its country's official format — not a VoIP line — so it passes those checks the same way a SIM in your pocket does.
And we stand behind it with a 7-day replacement guarantee: if your number doesn't work with WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, Google or any app you need, we replace it free with a new number in the same country — or refund 100% if you prefer.
- Non-VoIP, real mobile line type — line-type checks see an ordinary SIM number, not a VoIP line
- Official country format with the right country code, prefix and digit count
- Unlimited incoming SMS and calls — codes arrive by text or through the “call me” option
- Private to you — never listed on public SMS sites, so it isn't flagged or rate-limited
- Yours for as long as you want — re-verification and account recovery keep working
Price, keeping the number and the 7-day guarantee
Indian numbers are from $1.80 a month on the yearly plan, $21.60 billed yearly. The number remains yours while you renew. If Amazon won't accept it, our 7-day replacement guarantee gives you a free replacement Indian number within 7 days of activation, or a 100% refund.

Questions
Can an NRI use an Indian number for Amazon.in?
Yes, for your own buyer account. OTPs land in your web dashboard in any country while the number is renewed.
Why does Amazon.in reject my Indian number?
A leading 0 or a repeated 91 is the usual cause. With India selected, enter exactly ten digits starting with 6 to 9.
Can I pay by UPI using this number?
No. UPI apps bind to the SIM in your phone, so this number can't register one. It works for Amazon's OTPs and security codes.
Does this number let me register as an Amazon.in seller?
Only the phone part. Amazon verifies a seller's identity with a government-issued ID by photo or video call, which a number doesn't cover.
What if the number expires while Two-Step Verification is on?
Use your backup method and update the number in Login & security. Without a backup, Amazon's account recovery requires an identity check, so renewing is easier.
Will the number work with WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram and Google?
Yes — guaranteed. It's a real mobile number with unlimited incoming SMS and calls, so verification codes arrive by SMS or voice call. If it doesn't work with WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, Google or any app you need, we replace it free within 7 days — or refund 100%.
