Virtual number for Tinder
Maybe. We haven't yet confirmed that Tinder accepts callmins numbers, so treat it as may not work. Tinder lets you sign up with a phone number and texts a code to confirm it.

Which callmins numbers work with Tinder
From our carrier's delivery records. We update this when the records change.
| callmins number | Receives codes? | Price |
|---|---|---|
| UK +44 | Not confirmed | $3.00/mo |
| US +1 | Not confirmed | $2.00/mo |
| Canadian +1 | Not confirmed | $2.00/mo |
“Not confirmed” means we have no delivery records either way yet: it may work, or Tinder may refuse an internet number.

Before you start
Things to know about Tinder
- Dating apps actively block numbers they consider risky, so treat this as may not work.
- Keep the number: Tinder can ask you to confirm it again when you log in.
A private number, not a shared one
Free “receive SMS online” sites publish one number to everyone, so your Tinder code is readable by strangers. A callmins number is rented to you alone, by the month, and receives calls as well as texts. See receive SMS online for how that works, or the temporary number guide if you only need it briefly.
Questions people ask
Can I use a virtual number for Tinder?
Maybe. We haven't yet confirmed that Tinder accepts callmins numbers, so treat it as may not work. Tinder lets you sign up with a phone number and texts a code to confirm it.
Why not use a free number from a website for Tinder?
Free receive-SMS sites show every number and its texts to anyone who visits, so anyone can read your Tinder code and take over the account later. Apps also block those shared numbers quickly. A callmins number is rented to you alone.
What happens if I stop paying for the number?
The number is released when its paid month ends if it isn't renewed, and may later go to someone else, who could then receive your Tinder codes. Keep the number for as long as you use the account, or move Tinder to another number first.
Does Tinder need a phone number?
Not always. Tinder lets you sign up with a phone number and texts a code to confirm it.
