Badoo keeps asking for a number. You’re like, “yeah not using my real SIM for this.” Totally fair. Maybe it’s a test profile, perhaps you don’t want dating tied to your personal WhatsApp, maybe your old Number is dead, or maybe OTPs in your country are just moody.
Here’s the good part: you can still create or verify Badoo without a phone number, you need to use a virtual or temporary number, and Badoo will actually send a code to it. The real issue is that public inbox routes are overused, leading to more failures. That’s why the PVAPins path is so clean:
Start free numbers if it doesn’t arrive, go instant/private if Badoo keeps re-checking, rent.
You can do all of this from the web dashboard or the Android app, pay with global and local methods, and pick from 200+ countries.
Short answer: yep. You can verify Badoo without a Phone Number that belongs to you, as long as the Number you use can receive OTPs and isn’t a junky, overused number. The trick is to pick a fresh, private, or non-VoIP line when the public one doesn’t get the SMS.
Let’s break it down:
Badoo wants numbers to kill spam and to let people recover accounts.
Everyone uses public/free numbers, so they get flagged.
PVAPins lets you pick Badoo as the service before you even request the Number.
If Badoo still says no, change country or change line type.
After 1–2 fails, don’t keep retrying the same bad route; move to a private one.
Found that shared/public verification numbers failed more often on dating/social apps than fresh private routes. That’s literally why we push the “free instant rent” flow.
Badoo isn’t doing it to annoy you (even though it feels like it). It’s trying to see:
Are you a real person?
Can you get back in if you forget your login?
And will this account look less spammy?
A verified Number = “this user looks fine.” That’s also why you sometimes log in, and Badoo suddenly wants to confirm again.
You know those “free public inbox” sites? Badoo knows them too. Those numbers are hammered 100s of times, so Badoo may:
not send the OTP at all,
or say “code invalid,”
Or block the Number outright.
That’s the classic “I typed it right, but nothing came” problem.
Switch the second you notice:
OTP didn’t arrive after the resend timer.
Badoo says, “This number is already used.”
You actually want to keep the account,
You’re logging in from multiple devices/VPNs.
That’s your cue to use a private / non-VoIP number from PVAPins. It just passes better.
Here’s the deal: don’t overcomplicate it. The smoothest way to verify Badoo right now is this:
PVAPins gives you all three in one dashboard.
Free: suitable for quick/signup tests, not for main dating accounts.
Instant/private: better OTP delivery, works in 200+ countries.
Rentals: perfect for re-verification, device changes, or “Badoo keeps poking me.”
Payments: crypto, Binance Pay, Payeer, GCash, AmanPay, QIWI Wallet, DOKU, Nigeria & South Africa cards, Skrill, Payoneer.
Use whichever is easier: web or Android app.
Saw that people who moved from public to private got faster OTPs on social/dating apps. Makes sense, the quieter the line, the better the delivery.
This is fine when you’re:
just trying Badoo,
testing which country works,
Or don’t care if it fails once or twice.
But expect some “no code” moments. That’s just how it is with public routes.
Didn’t get the code? Cool, don’t fight it. Just grab a private/non-VoIP line inside PVAPins. Thousands of randoms aren’t using those, so Badoo is more likely to send.
Some Badoo accounts get re-verified more especially if you use VPNs, travel a lot, or run multiple profiles. Renting fixes that because the Number doesn’t change. That’s what you want for serious dating or lead gen.
You’re not locked into one payment method. PVAPins is made for global users to pay with whatever’s available in your region, activate instantly, read the OTP, and be done.
Here’s the simple version first:
Log in to PVAPins, select your country, choose Badoo, copy the code, paste it into Badoo, and read the OTP in the dashboard/app. If nothing comes, switch to private or rent.
Go to.
Choose a country, choose Badoo, get a number.
Paste the Number into Badoo, then wait for the SMS.
Read the OTP in the PVAPins dashboard or the Android app.
If delayed, switch to a private route or rent a car.
Found that people who pre-selected the app before requesting the Number got fewer “this code is for a different service” problems. So yeah, choose Badoo first.
Hopping into the PVAPins account is quick. After that, you can pull free, instant, or rental numbers without bouncing between tools.
This part matters. When you tell PVAPins, “I need this for Badoo,” it can give you a better matching route. Pick the country you want to see in Badoo: the US, India, Nigeria, etc.
Drop the Number in Badoo. Don’t hit resend 5 times. Let it do its thing.
Open your PVAPins dashboard or the Android app:
You’ll see the code there. Copy-paste done.
Wait the whole resend window.
Try again once.
If still nothing, change to private / non-VoIP.
If Badoo keeps asking again and again, rent it.
Let’s be real, this is the part that makes people rage. Badoo says it sent the code… nothing shows up. Here’s the calm, grown-up way to fix it:
Don’t spam OTP; it triggers rate limits.
Check your country code and number format.
Switch to a private / non-VoIP line in PVAPins.
If Badoo offers call verification, take it.
If this is happening often, rent a number so Badoo recognizes you.
Showed that people who hit resend every 30 seconds got more failures than people who waited. Slow is fast here.
Badoo will hold back codes if it thinks you’re automating. So wait for the timer to end.
Some countries and some routes are just quieter. Try another one. Private routes, especially.
Sometimes a voice call works when SMS doesn’t. If the option shows up, use it.
When Badoo keeps seeing the same number, it relaxes. That’s why rentals are the “I just want this to work every time” option.
Lost the SIM? Changed countries? The phone died? You can still get back into Badoo. You need a new number that Badoo accepts, then bind it.
Choose a Badoo-ready number from PVAPins.
Start Badoo’s login/recovery flow.
Verify with the new OTP.
Update the Number in your Badoo settings.
Keep it (rent) if Badoo checks often.
Found that accounts that kept the same Number active for 30+ days got fewer security prompts.
Pick your country, pick Badoo. That gives you a working route for the recovery step.
Use Badoo’s own “can’t access” option. When it asks for a number, enter your PVAPins number.
Once you’re inside, make that PVAPins number your actual Number in Badoo. That’s the one they should see from now on.
If Badoo is fussy where you live, just rent it so you don’t lose access again.
Sometimes the problem isn’t Badoo, it’s the route in that country. The easiest fix is to match the country code and use a private route.
USA: use +1, private route, fast delivery.
India: OTP can be slow to use instant/non-VoIP, don’t spam.
Nigeria: pay with local cards/GCash and keep the Number in case Badoo re-checks.
If the local fails, try a nearby country.
Rentals reduce repeat verifications.
Showed that cross-border routes sometimes worked better where local filters were strict.
US users care about speed. Pick +1, pick private, done.
Don’t keep hitting resend. Just switch to a faster route.
PVAPins supports Nigerian/South African cards, plus other wallets, so you don’t get stuck at checkout. Rent if Badoo checks often.
Running another Badoo profile for testing, marketing, or to keep dating separate? You shouldn’t reuse a public inbox.
Get a new PVAPins number for each account.
Don’t reuse free public numbers.
Use a separate device/app profile if you can.
Rentals = stability.
Keep the number history in PVAPins.
Badoo hates seeing the same public Number on multiple profiles. That’s how spam looks.
One Number one account. Cleanest signal.
If it’s not a 5-minute test, rent it.

Here’s the simple decision tree:
Free I’m testing/low risk/don’t care if it fails.
Instant/private: I need this account verified now.
Rental Badoo keeps checking me / I travel / I use VPNs / this account matters.
Free: fastest, least reliable.
Instant/private: good balance of price + delivery.
Rentals: max continuity, best for dating and re-logins.
PVAPins gives you all three, no need to hop to another tool.
Sandboxes, quick checks, throwaway accounts.
If you’re putting real photos and talking to real people, don’t use a trashed number.
If Badoo keeps challenging you, just rent and be done with it.
1. Can I verify Badoo without giving my real Number?
Yes. Grab a virtual/temporary number from PVAPins, pick Badoo, and enter the code you receive in the dashboard or app.
2. Why is Badoo not sending me the code?
You may be using an overused number or hitting rate limits. Wait for the timer to finish, then switch to a private/non-VoIP route.
3. Can I use the same Number for two Badoo accounts?
Not issues. Badoo can flag reused numbers. Use a fresh PVAPins number per account.
4. What’s the fastest way to get a Badoo number?
Pick Badoo inside PVAPins, choose your country, and read the OTP from the web or Android app.
5. Is this legal?
Using virtual numbers is generally fine, but how you use them must comply with Badoo’s terms and your local regulations.
6. Do I need to keep the Number?
If Badoo re-checks often or you log in from different devices, yes, rent it.
PVAPins is not affiliated with Badoo. Follow each app’s terms and local regulations.
Please don’t use virtual numbers for spam, bulk abuse, or anything shady. That’s how numbers get filtered for everyone.
Keep the Number if you plan to log in again; rentals save you support tickets.
