How To Circumvent Snapchat Phone Number Verification Without Using Your Real Number

Snapchat is a free multimedia messaging app that lets users send short-lived messages that become inaccessible after a certain amount of time. To create an account, users must verify either their phone number or email address.

To protect their privacy, users often enter a fake phone number or use a burner phone to verify their accounts. If you prefer not to provide Snapchat with your personal number, you can use DoNotPay to generate a temporary phone number to pass the phone verification process.

Why Should I Use a Fake Phone Number for Snapchat Verification?

The protection of personal information online has become a hot-button topic in the past few years. Large companies like Snapchat and Facebook are notorious for selling their customers’ personal info to advertising agencies. Sharing your phone number with Snapchat guarantees that you will eventually receive spam texts and calls.

More than 80% of Americans are reluctant to share their information online due to the risk of leaks and spam. Many apps and services demand users’ email addresses, phone numbers, and credit card information to register. To avoid giving away their personal information, people use various methods to circumvent these requirements.

Instead of providing your real phone number to Snapchat, you can:

• Buy a burner phone at a retailer such as Walmart or Target
• Use one of the many fake phone number apps available online
• Google a fake number
• Ask a friend to use their phone number
• Use DoNotPay’s Burner Phone feature

How To Verify Phone Number on Snapchat Using DoNotPay’s Burner Phone Feature

DoNotPay provides you with the quickest and most convenient way to generate a temporary phone number for Snapchat verification. You can avoid giving away your personal info to any service that asks for it. Here’s how to generate a number to use for Snapchat:

1. Access DoNotPay from your web browser
2. Go to our Burner Phone section
3. Type in the name of the service you need a number for and press Create a temporary number
4. Use the number to verify your account and send a confirmation text
5. Type in the verification code before our number deactivates

The temporary phone number we provide lasts ten minutes and can verify any service.

Here is an overview of all the ways you can use our temporary phone number:

Why Won’t Snapchat Verify My Phone Number?

Many users have found that Snapchat won’t verify their phone, even when they use a real number. If you receive the message “We cannot verify this phone number,” Snapchat might have encountered one of these issues:

• The service is down for maintenance
• It’s not a valid phone number
• There is heavy traffic
• The connection has timed out

Snapchat’s phone verification system isn’t perfect, and it often fails to verify valid numbers.

Use DoNotPay’s Virtual Credit Card Generator To Avoid Giving Your Credit Card Info

We use credit card generators for the same reason we use burner phones and fake numbers. It helps avoid situations in which our personal information could be leaked or exploited.

Legitimate services request credit card info to register you for free trials, as counterintuitive as that may seem. When the free trial expires, these services try to sign you up for a paid version of the subscription. If you don't cancel in time, you’ll get billed.

A free virtual credit card generator solves this problem. It lets you sign up for a free trial without providing your real credit card. The merchant can’t tell the difference between virtual credit cards and real ones.

You can then enjoy the trial until it runs out when you’ll get unsubscribed, as the virtual credit card doesn’t have any funds on it.

Why Does Snapchat Want To Verify My Phone Number?

There are many benefits to verifying your phone number on the app. Like many other services, Snapchat tries to protect your account by verifying your identity via phone number and email address. If you provide them with this information, you can retrieve your account easily when you forget your password or get hacked.

Two-step verification adds another level of security. It prevents others from accessing your account because Snapchat texts a code to your phone directly. Unless intruders have your login credentials and the linked device, they won’t be able to log in to your account. Keep in mind that you can’t use a temporary number for two-step verification, as the number you provide will be used repeatedly.

Another reason Snapchat asks for your number is to prevent spam. If users made accounts with no phone or email requirement, spammers would create thousands of accounts. Phishing and fraud accounts are easier to track when they’re linked with emails or phone numbers.

How Do I Verify My Phone Number on Snapchat?

Whether you’re using your real phone number or a temporary one, you should try to verify your Snapchat account. If you skipped phone verification and signed up for Snapchat with your email, you can add your phone number later by accessing the app’s Settings page. To verify a phone number, follow these steps:

1. Press the gear button to reach the Settings
2. Go to the My Account page and tap Mobile Number
3. Enter the number you want to verify
4. Tap Verify
5. In the pop-up window, click on Send via SMS
6. When you receive the number, input it in the text box and press Continue

If you use DoNotPay’s temporary number feature to generate a new number, you must complete these steps within ten minutes, as the number will be deactivated past this point.

The verification text is sent from a U.S. number, which means international users may be charged an additional fee. Make sure you’ve enabled international text messaging before you press Send via SMS.

Standard text messaging fees apply for verification messages.
