Verify your mobile

Calls to your NumberBurn numbers ring one confirmed mobile phone. You confirm it by texting a short code from that phone.

Confirm your mobile

  1. Get your code

    When your number is ready, NumberBurn shows a 4 digit code.

  2. Text START and the code

    From the real mobile that should receive your calls, send a text to your new NumberBurn number in the form shown below, using your own code.

  3. Wait for the confirmation

    NumberBurn matches the text to your pending verification and confirms the mobile. From then on, calls to your number ring that phone.

Code life and attempts

  • The code is 4 digits long.
  • A pending verification stops accepting codes after 30 minutes.
  • 5 wrong codes lock the pending verification. After a lock or an expiry you start a new verification and get a new code.

One account per person, one account per mobile

  • Each person gets one account, and each mobile can be confirmed on one account only.
  • NumberBurn stores the line type of your mobile (mobile, landline or VoIP) when it verifies. Use an ordinary mobile line; other line types may be flagged for review.
