Buy a number for AOL Mail
In the Noir SMS dashboard, select AOL Mail, pick the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom, and buy the number. It's held for you for 20 minutes.
AOL Mail is run by the same company as Yahoo Mail, and its sign-up flow works much the same way: you pick an address, fill in your name and birth date, and confirm a mobile number with a code sent by SMS. AOL also leans on that phone for sign-in checks and password resets, which is the part to plan for. Noir SMS gives you a mobile number reserved for AOL for 20 minutes, shows the code in your dashboard with a sound alert, and refunds you automatically if AOL never sends it. Use it to get the account created, then move recovery to something you'll still control next year.

Yes. AOL usually asks for a mobile number when you create an AOL Mail account and sends a short verification code by text. Rent a US, Canada or UK number for AOL on Noir SMS, enter it on the sign-up page, and copy the code from your dashboard. If no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, you're refunded automatically. Add a recovery email or authenticator afterwards, because the number won't stay yours.
One number, one AOL verification. Pay only for what you use.

In the Noir SMS dashboard, select AOL Mail, pick the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom, and buy the number. It's held for you for 20 minutes.
On the AOL account page, choose your new address and password, select the matching country code (+1 or +44), and paste the number. Ask AOL to send the code by text, not by call.
Type the code from your dashboard to finish sign-up. Then open Account Security and add a recovery email you own, or set up an authenticator, before you close the tab.
If AOL sees a sign-in from a new device or you forget the password, it may text the number on file. A rented number will be recycled later, so add a recovery email and remove the temporary phone once you have another way back in.
AOL may offer to call the number with the code. Noir SMS numbers receive SMS only, so pick the text option and use resend if the first message is slow.
Like Yahoo, AOL may block further codes after several failed attempts in a short time. If that happens, cancel the number for a refund and try again later instead of cycling through numbers quickly.
Usually, yes. AOL's sign-up form generally asks for a mobile number and sends a verification code by SMS before the account is created. The exact flow can change, but a number that receives texts is normally needed. Noir SMS numbers are carrier mobile numbers, so AOL usually accepts them where some VoIP numbers fail.
They are separate email services run by the same parent company, and the account systems look and behave alike. An AOL address is still its own account, so choose AOL Mail in Noir SMS for an AOL sign-up and Yahoo for a Yahoo one.
Check that the country code matches the number and that you didn't add an extra 1 or 0. AOL can also hold back codes after repeated requests. Tap resend once the page allows it. If nothing arrives within 20 minutes, Noir SMS refunds the charge automatically, and you can cancel manually after 2 minutes.
It's better not to. Noir SMS numbers are for one verification and are recycled by the provider later, so you won't receive future recovery codes on them. After sign-up, add a recovery email or an authenticator app and remove the temporary number from Account Security.
Creating your own AOL inbox with a separate number is fine, but AOL's terms still apply. Noir SMS is only for your own legitimate accounts. Creating email accounts in bulk, sending spam or phishing, or impersonating someone is prohibited, and accounts used that way are closed.
