Reddit allows phone-based sign-up in certain eligible locations and may also let users add a phone number through their account settings. A temporary number may help you receive the one-time SMS code without using your personal SIM. You only pay when the code arrives.
Simple Process
Reddit may offer phone-based sign-up in eligible locations or allow you to add a phone number through your account settings. When a verification SMS is sent, you can view the code in your MrSMS dashboard.
Select a country from the widget above and copy the temporary number you receive. Include the country code when entering it in Reddit. If one country's number isn't accepted, you can try another at no charge.
When Reddit displays a phone number field — during sign-up or in your account settings — enter the temporary number with its country code. Reddit will send a confirmation code via SMS.
Codes often arrive shortly after delivery is initiated, though timing varies by carrier. Enter the code in Reddit to complete the verification step. You are only charged once the code successfully arrives.
Why MrSMS
Reddit's phone verification is used as a trust signal for certain communities. Here's what makes MrSMS a practical option for it.
Some users prefer not to attach their personal phone number to their Reddit account. A temporary number keeps your personal SIM separate from that verification session.
Reddit's SMS delivery varies by country and carrier. If one country doesn't deliver a code, switching to another is instant. You're only charged on success, so trying another option costs nothing.
Some services charge when a number is assigned. With MrSMS, you're only charged after the verification SMS is successfully received. If no code arrives, your balance is untouched.
In eligible locations, Reddit may allow users to create an account with a phone number. A temporary number may work for receiving the one-time code, depending on Reddit's current rules and the selected carrier.
Top up your balance with Bitcoin, USDT, and other supported cryptocurrencies without entering credit card details.
Choose a country, receive a temporary number, and view your Reddit verification code directly in your MrSMS dashboard. No technical setup is required.

Complete Guide
Reddit does not require a phone number for every account. In certain eligible locations, users can sign up with a phone number, and existing users may also be able to add or update a number through their account settings.
Some users prefer not to attach their personal phone number to their Reddit account. A temporary number provides an alternative for the one-time verification step without linking your personal SIM to your Reddit presence.
The process works the same way whether Reddit is asking during account settings or when you try to join a phone-verified community.
If you already have a Reddit account and want to add or update a phone number, go to Settings → Account → Phone number. Reddit will send a confirmation code via SMS to the number you enter.
A temporary number may work for this confirmation step, depending on Reddit's current rules and your carrier. Once confirmed, the number is associated with your account for recovery purposes. You can also remove or update it later from the same settings page.
Reddit's SMS delivery varies by carrier and region, and availability changes over time. Check the current country list above for available options.
If no code arrives, wait until the cancellation option becomes available, then cancel the number and try a different country. You're only charged when the code successfully arrives.
After verification, consider enabling two-factor authentication with an authenticator app in Reddit Settings → Security → Two-factor authentication. Reddit supports authenticator apps — this is a more stable long-term option than SMS, since it doesn't depend on a phone number remaining active.
Also confirm your email address if you haven't already. With both email and an authenticator app set up, your account recovery doesn't depend on the virtual number being available in the future.
After completing phone verification, confirm your email address in Settings → Account → Email if you haven't already. Email is Reddit's primary account recovery method and gives you a way to regain access without depending on the phone number remaining active.
Consider also enabling two-factor authentication with an authenticator app in Settings → Security. Reddit supports authenticator-based 2FA — this is more stable long-term than SMS-based methods, since it doesn't depend on a phone number being available.
