How to get your Instagram code

Instagram can sign you up with a phone number or ask to confirm one later. It sends a 6-digit confirmation code by SMS.

  1. 01

    Choose “Sign up with phone” (or add a phone in Account Center) and pick the right country code.

  2. 02

    Paste the number and tap Next.

  3. 03

    Type the 6-digit code from your CoveSMS dashboard.

If the Instagram code doesn’t arrive

  • Tap “I didn’t get the code” only once; repeated requests can make Instagram stop sending for a while.
  • If Instagram says the number isn’t available, it won’t send an SMS. That attempt goes back to your balance.
  • Prefer US or UK numbers when the app doesn’t care about your country; they tend to have the most stock.

Cheapest countries for Instagram right now

Across social apps, 28% of recent numbers on CoveSMS received their code. The rest went back to the balance automatically.

Good to know: Instagram can ask for the same phone again to confirm a sign-in. Add your email and an authenticator app in Account Center › Password and security once you are in.

Before you verify

  • Pick “send SMS” if the app offers a call — numbers are SMS-only.
  • Once you’re in, turn on an authenticator app for login codes. The number is single-use and won’t help you recover the account later.

Instagram number: questions

Will this also work for Threads?

Threads uses your Instagram account, so the Instagram verification covers it. Threads is also listed separately in the dashboard.

Does Instagram accept these numbers?

They’re mobile numbers, which Instagram generally accepts. If one is refused, cancel it for your balance back and try another country.

What if the code doesn’t come?

Ask Instagram to resend once. If nothing arrives within 20 minutes, the number closes and the price goes back to your balance automatically.

Can I use a US number from another country?

Yes. Choose the matching country code in the app (+1 for the US and Canada, +44 for the UK) and enter the rest of the number.

Will my account stay on this number?

The number is single-use. Add your own email and an authenticator app as soon as you’re in, so you never depend on it again.
