Virtual Number for imo Verification
imo is a free video calling and chat app that's popular for staying in touch with family abroad, especially on slow connections. There's no username or password: your phone number is your account, and imo confirms it with a one-time code by SMS (sometimes with a call as a fallback). People often want a separate number for imo so relatives or community groups can reach them without having their main mobile number. Noir SMS reserves a mobile number for imo for 20 minutes, shows the code in your dashboard, and refunds you if imo never sends it.

Quick answer
Yes. imo signs you up with a phone number and a code sent by SMS. Rent a US, Canada or UK number for imo on Noir SMS, enter it in the app, and type the code that appears in your dashboard. If no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, the charge goes back to your balance automatically. Because imo identifies you by that number, expect to need a new code if you reinstall.

How to get your imo code
Register in the imo app

Enter the code and set your name
Copy the code from your dashboard into imo, then add the display name and photo your contacts will see.
Before you verify imo
Your number is your login
imo has no password to fall back on. If you delete the app or move to a new phone, it will text the number again, and a rented number may be gone by then. Treat the account as tied to this device, or move to your own number for long-term use.
Contacts find you by number
imo suggests people from your phone's address book who use imo. With a separate number, people who only have your main number won't see you automatically; share the new number with the people you want to reach.
Skip the call option
If the SMS is slow, imo may offer to call you with the code. Noir SMS numbers can't take calls, so wait for the timer and request the SMS again.

imo virtual number: FAQ
Can I use imo without my real phone number?
Yes. imo only needs a number that can receive its verification text. A Noir SMS number works for that one sign-up, and your main mobile number stays private. Keep in mind the account depends on that number if you ever need to verify again.
Does imo accept virtual numbers?
imo may reject some VoIP numbers. Noir SMS numbers are mobile numbers from carriers, so they usually pass, though no app accepts every number. If imo refuses the number or the code doesn't come, you're refunded automatically after 20 minutes, or you can cancel after 2 minutes.
What happens if I reinstall imo later?
imo will ask to verify the phone number again with a new code. A rented number is single-use and may be recycled by then, so you might not be able to log back in. If you plan to keep the account, switch it to your own number while you still have access.
Can I call regular phones from the Noir SMS number?
No. The number only receives SMS for verification. Calls inside imo go over the internet between imo users, which works fine, but the number itself can't make or take regular phone calls or texts.
Is using a temporary number with imo allowed?
Using a separate number for your own imo account is fine, as long as you follow imo's terms. Noir SMS is only for your own legitimate accounts. Spam, scam calls, harassment and creating accounts in bulk are prohibited.
