The best virtual number for Facebook verification

The best virtual number for Facebook is simply the one that delivers the code today, and that changes from week to week as Facebook adjusts which number ranges it accepts. So pick from the countries that show a good delivery rate beside the price, request the code by SMS, and take another country if nothing arrives. The number only has to work once. What matters more is what you do in the next two minutes: add your own email address to the account and switch two-factor authentication to an authenticator app, so Facebook never needs that number again.

How to choose the number

• Look at the delivery rate shown beside each line, not only the price. A cheap number that Facebook refuses costs you time.
• Countries with large pools - the United States, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, several African countries - usually have stock at any hour.
• If a country fails twice in a row, switch country rather than retrying the same one.

Step by step

1. Top up your balanceMobile money, card or crypto. Unspent balance stays on your account.
2. Open Facebook and go to the phone number stepSign-up, or Settings, Accounts Centre, Personal details, Contact info if the account already exists. Choose the same country as the number you are about to rent.
3. Rent a number for FacebookIt appears on your KamiVerify page with a countdown. Enter it in Facebook without the country code Facebook already shows.
4. Enter the codeIt appears on the same page, usually within a minute. If nothing comes, the order expires and refunds itself after 20 minutes.
5. Add your email and an authenticator appAccounts Centre, Password and security, Two-factor authentication: choose an authentication app, not text message.

Why the second step matters

A rented number belongs to someone else a few minutes later. If Facebook ever sends a login code by SMS, it goes to that stranger, not to you. An email address and an authenticator app move every future check onto things you control.
