A real phone number
for Uber.

How Uber verification works

Uber confirms your phone number with a 4-digit SMS code, and drivers can call you through the app.

Because SMSCreation numbers are real mobile numbers, Uber treats them like any other phone: the code is delivered to your number and shows up in your dashboard inbox straight away.

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

Uber verification details

Uber needs a verified mobile number to create a rider account, and it sends the verification code by SMS. Uber says the text can take several minutes to arrive, and that carriers sometimes block the short code Uber uses. You can resend the code by retyping your number in the phone number field. Uber also warns that you may not get texts if you are traveling or have opted out of SMS from Uber; a number whose SMS arrive in a web dashboard avoids the roaming problem.

For extra security, turn on 2-step verification in account management → Security → 2-step verification. You can receive a 4-digit code by text or use a security app, which works offline and suits frequent travelers. Save the 8-digit backup codes Uber gives you. Even without 2-step verification, Uber may ask for a security check, for example before sending you a copy of your data or deleting your account.

Common Uber problems and fixes

• Verification SMS doesn't arrive → check the number and the country selected before it, resend the code, and allow several minutes → Uber notes carriers can block its short code. See our guide “Verification code not received”.
• 2-step code not arriving on a new device → on the code screen tap “I'm having trouble” → “Resend code via SMS”, or “Use 8-digit backup code”.
• Can't update your phone number → Uber has a dedicated support form for failed updates → submit the new number there and confirm from your email.
• Opted out of Uber texts → re-subscribe in Uber's communication preferences, then request the code again.

Rider number, driver number: what Uber actually does with it

On Uber the phone number is a working line, not just a sign-up hurdle. After a driver accepts your request, the two of you can message or call through the trip screen. Uber's rider privacy page says drivers never see your phone number, even when you call or text them from inside the Uber app, and they also never see your last name, your profile picture or the rating you leave them.

The driver side explains the plumbing. Uber's “Contacting your rider” article says the app anonymizes the driver's number and connects the call to the rider's number, so the cost is roughly that of calling a local line. The rider's number is anonymized as well, and those relay numbers change and can't be saved. In-app chat runs over data and is free, which Uber suggests drivers use to avoid international roaming charges.

So the number you register is the one a driver's relayed call actually rings. With an SMSCreation number, the incoming call lands in your browser dashboard and incoming calls are unlimited, which keeps your personal SIM out of every pickup conversation.

Changing the number on a driver or rider account

• Uber's driver help says you update your name, phone number, email, password or home address directly in the Uber app: menu (☰) → Account → choose the detail → enter the new value.
• A new phone number is confirmed with a verification code sent by text message; you type that code in the app before the change is saved.
• Uber states plainly that if verification fails, your update won't be saved, and that changes don't take effect until you confirm them.
• For drivers, a date of birth can't be edited in place: Uber asks you to re-upload your ID instead. A phone number can't stand in for that document step.
• Email changes (iOS only) send a code to the new address and a notice to the old one, so keep both reachable while you swap.
