Get a Uber verification code with a temporary number
Uber is built entirely around your phone number: it is the login, and every sign-in sends a fresh 4-digit code by SMS. That design means drivers see a rider's number (masked in most regions, directly in others), and the number can never be swapped for an email. If that is more exposure than you want, start the account on a number that is not yours.

Uber
Uber uses the shortest code of the major apps — four digits — because the number itself is the account identifier. Every login re-sends a fresh code to the same number.
How to verify Uber without your own number
One honest caveat: because Uber re-authenticates by SMS on new devices, a temporary number suits a short-term need — a trip abroad, a test account, a one-off promotion — better than a daily-driver account. For an account you will keep, Line's permanent virtual numbers give you the same privacy without the expiry.
Get a Uber number
Pick a country below and we reserve a temporary number that can receive Uber's verification SMS. It is yours for the rental window and never linked back to you.
Enter it on Uber
Enter the temporary number on Uber's 'Enter your mobile number' screen — the number is the account login, and the 4-digit code confirms it.
Read the code in your dashboard
The 4 digits code appears in your Line dashboard the moment Uber sends it — usually within seconds. Copy it into the app and the number retires itself.

If the Uber code does not arrive — the usual causes, and the fix.
Most failed verifications come down to one of these. And if nothing works, the refund is automatic.
Uber loops on 'We sent a code'
Codes are re-sent aggressively when tapped twice; only the newest 4-digit code works. Take the latest one from your dashboard thread and enter it within a couple of minutes.
Account created but payment step fails
That is a card-verification issue, not the phone step — the SMS part is done. Add a card matching your account country.
Logged out on a new device later
Uber texts the login code to the account number. If your rental has retired, you cannot receive it — this is why we suggest temporary numbers for short-lived Uber accounts and permanent numbers for long-term ones.
Uber verification FAQ
Receive Uber's 4-digit sign-up code without putting your real number in the app.
Why does Uber only use 4 digits?
The phone number itself is the primary credential — the short code just proves possession at that moment. It also means Uber depends on that number for every future login on a new device.
Is a temporary number a good idea for Uber?
For a short-term account — travel, testing, a promotion — yes, and your personal number stays out of the trip records drivers can see. For a long-term account, use a permanent virtual number instead, because Uber re-sends login codes to the account number indefinitely.
Can drivers see the number I sign up with?
Uber masks numbers in most regions, connecting calls through a relay, but the account number is what sits behind that relay. A privacy number means even a leak exposes nothing personal.
How much does a Uber verification cost?
You pay per verification with prepaid credits (1 credit = 1p). A Uber number costs from £0.75 in the UK, and prices vary a little by country — the table above shows every option. There is no subscription and no monthly rental.
What if the code never arrives?
If Uber does not deliver a code before the temporary number expires, your credits are refunded automatically. You can also cancel a waiting number yourself for an instant refund. You only ever pay for a verification that works.
Is this legal to use?
Yes — receiving a verification SMS on a number you rent is lawful. What matters is what you use it for: verifying your own legitimate accounts and protecting your privacy is fine; fraud, ban evasion or breaking Uber's terms is not, and is prohibited by Line's acceptable use policy.
