How to verify AliExpress with a temporary phone number

AliExpress verifies accounts more often than most shops, especially when you sign in from a new country or place a first order. This guide is about the cases where a temporary number helps and the ones where it does not.

When the phone prompt appears

You can see it when you register with an email, when you add a payment method, when you log in from a new device and when you claim a coupon. If the prompt is for a login you already have, a new number will not help; you need access to the number on the account.

Pick the country with the right stock

The United States has the most numbers for AliExpress on Noir SMS, though the price is higher than for most apps. Check the live price before buying. Other countries may be cheaper but are in smaller supply.

Step by step

1. Open the promptStart the sign-up or login that asks for a phone number.
2. Buy a numberPick AliExpress and a country on Noir SMS; confirm the live price.
3. Request the codeEnter the number and ask for the SMS.
4. Read it or cancelUse the code from the dashboard; if nothing arrives cancel after 2 minutes for a refund.

If the code is slow

If no SMS arrives, cancel after 2 minutes for an instant refund, wait a little and try again, or pick a different country. The automatic refund covers any number that does not receive the code.

Orders and returns

Shipping notices and dispute messages go to the contact on the account. Keep an email you check, and when you place a real order use a number that stays yours.
