How to receive the Zomato OTP with a +91 number from abroad
Quick answer
Zomato logs you in with an Indian mobile number and an OTP. A +91 number from Noir SMS can receive that code, and India has deep stock for Zomato. Buy one number at a time and use the automatic refund if nothing arrives.
Zomato's food-ordering service is tied to India, and its sign-in is a mobile number plus an OTP. If you are visiting, studying abroad or testing the app, you may need an Indian number without owning an Indian SIM.
Why only India works
The app sends its OTP to +91 numbers and expects a local address for delivery. Pick India on the Zomato page of Noir SMS. Stock is large, so the count rarely limits you.
What to expect
The OTP usually arrives within a minute or two. If it does not, cancel after 2 minutes for an instant refund and try again instead of requesting it over and over.
Step by step

- Buy a numberTop up from $5 and buy one number.
- Enter it in the appType the mobile number and request the OTP.

Ordering is a different job
The restaurant and rider use the number on the order. A temporary number cannot take calls, so it is only suitable for creating the account or testing the app. For real orders, add a number you keep.
For testers and developers
If you test OTP flows for an Indian product, the API lets you automate purchase, polling and cancellation.
