Temporary Facebook Number
A temporary Facebook number is a private line issued to you for one verification and thrown away afterwards. It is not shared, so nobody else reads the code, and it is not yours to keep. 37 countries have delivered a Facebook code in the last 30 days, from $0.12.

What "temporary" actually means for a Facebook number
Four stages, and the third is the one people get caught by.
- You take the number. It is issued to your account alone for the activation window shown at checkout. Nobody else can see what arrives on it.
- You enter it in Facebook. One code, one line. Messages appear in your dashboard, not in a public inbox.
- The window closes. The number is released back to the pool and stops being yours. Anything sent to it afterwards is not yours to read, and you cannot use it to log in again later.
- Nothing arrived? Cancel it and you are not charged. Delivery across this catalog is around half, so a failed number is an expected outcome and not something you pay for.
Use a temporary number for an account you can afford to lose. Because the line goes back to the pool, any future re-verification, password reset or two-factor prompt on that Facebook account will go to somebody else. For an account you intend to keep, rent a number and hold the same line.
Countries that delivered a Facebook code in the last 30 days
Rebuilt daily from codes that actually arrived. A country is on this list because Facebook codes have been delivered to it recently — when Facebook stops accepting a country's numbers, that country drops off. The catalog sells more countries than this; these are the ones with a measured result behind them.
No country here matches that. Clear the filter to see all 37.
A delivered count is a count of codes that arrived, not a success rate. You pay per number, once, and a number that never receives a code is cancelled and not charged. The smallest top-up is $3 — about 25 numbers at this price. It is balance, not a fee: it does not expire and it stays on your account for the next one.

See rental countriesHow to use a temporary number for Facebook
- Pick a country from the table above — the ones with recent deliveries are the ones Facebook is currently accepting.
- Take the number and copy it in the international format shown, country code included, no spaces.
- Start the Facebook sign-up with it and watch your dashboard. Codes normally land within a couple of minutes.
- If nothing arrives, cancel. You are not charged, and a different country is often the fix — acceptance varies by country and by day.
- Save your recovery options inside Facebook before you finish. The number goes back to the pool when the window closes, so it cannot receive a future reset.
Questions about temporary Facebook numbers
How long does a temporary Facebook number last?
Long enough for one verification. The number is held for the activation window shown when you take it, and when that window closes the number is released and stops being yours. It is meant to receive one code and then be discarded, which is the whole point of a temporary number.
What happens if the Facebook code never arrives?
Cancel the number and you are not charged for it. Codes do fail to arrive — measured delivery across this catalog is around half — so cancelling and trying a different country is a normal part of using one, not a fault.
Can I reuse a temporary number to log back in to Facebook?
No, and this is the one thing to understand before you use one. Once the window closes the number goes back to the pool and somebody else may end up with it. If Facebook ever asks you to re-verify, you will not be able to receive that code. Use a temporary number for an account you can afford to lose, and a rented number for one you intend to keep.
Is a temporary number the same as a free number?
No. A free number is a public line with an open inbox that anybody on the internet can read; a temporary number is private to your account for its window and nobody else sees the message. If you specifically want the free shared kind, this site lists those separately.
Does Facebook detect temporary numbers?
Sometimes, and it varies by country and by day. That is why the table on this page is built from codes that actually arrived in the last thirty days rather than from the full catalog — a country drops off it when Facebook stops accepting its numbers.
