How to type a US number

Written in United States
(213) 555-0147
Written with the country code
+1 (213) 555-0147

US numbers have 10 digits after +1: a 3-digit area code and a 7-digit number. There’s no leading 0 to drop. If the app already shows +1, paste the 10 digits only.

When a US number makes sense

  • The app or website only lists the United States in its country picker, or only offers sign-up in the US.
  • You’re a developer or QA tester checking how a US sign-up or two-factor flow behaves, without using your personal phone.
  • You live in or are moving to the US and want to keep your own number private on a new service.

Tips for US numbers

  • US and Canadian numbers share +1. If the app asks for a country rather than a code, choose United States so the area code matches what it expects.
  • If the app accepts any country, compare prices in your dashboard: the same app can be cheaper in another country.
  • Short codes (5 or 6-digit senders) are common in the US. They show up in your dashboard like any other SMS.

US numbers: questions

Can I pick a specific state or area code?

No. The carrier assigns the area code, so you can’t choose a state or city. The number is a real US mobile number either way.

Is a US number the same as a Google Voice number?

No. Google Voice gives you a number you keep and that some apps flag as VoIP. Here you rent a carrier mobile number for one verification, for a few minutes.

Is a US number free?

No — free public numbers are shared and usually blocked. A US number here is private to you for 20 minutes and costs a few cents to a few dollars, balance back if no code arrives.

Are these VoIP numbers?

They’re mobile numbers from carriers, which apps accept far more often than VoIP numbers.

Can I receive calls?

No, SMS only. If the app offers a call, choose the text option.

Can I use it if I don’t live in United States?

Yes. Just pick United States (+1) as the country in the app before typing the number.
