Virtual Number for Instagram Verification
Instagram can create an account with either a mobile number or an email, but it often asks for a phone number afterward: at a security checkpoint, after unusual activity, or when you add a number in Accounts Center. The code arrives by SMS. Noir SMS rents you a carrier mobile number for 20 minutes and shows the code in your dashboard. Because Instagram may later send login and recovery codes to whatever number is on file, add an email you control and use an authentication app for two-factor authentication rather than text messages.

Quick answer
Yes. Instagram lets you sign up with a phone number, and it may ask for one later to confirm your account. Rent a US, Canada or UK number for Instagram on Noir SMS, enter it, and copy the 6-digit code from your dashboard. If no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, you're refunded automatically. Add your own email so you can recover the account later.

How to get your Instagram code
Enter it in Instagram
During sign-up, choose to use your mobile number; on a checkpoint screen, enter the number when asked to confirm. Pick the correct country code first.
Enter the code
Type the 6-digit code from your dashboard. If Instagram resends it, the new SMS appears on the same number while it's active.
Before you verify Instagram
Checkpoints can ask for more than SMS
If Instagram suspects automated behavior, it may ask for a video selfie or other confirmation in addition to a phone code. A virtual number solves only the SMS part.
Use an authentication app for 2FA
In Accounts Center > Password and security > Two-factor authentication, choose an authentication app instead of text message, and save your backup codes. A rented number won't receive your future 2FA codes.
Numbers are shared across Meta
Accounts Center can attach one number to both Instagram and Facebook. If you plan to keep the account, replace the rented number with your own under Personal details once your email is confirmed.

Instagram virtual number: FAQ
Can I make an Instagram account with a virtual number?
Yes. Instagram accepts sign-up with a mobile number, and Noir SMS numbers are carrier mobile numbers that usually receive Instagram's code. You can also sign up with email and use a virtual number only if Instagram later asks for phone confirmation. If no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, the charge is refunded automatically.
Why does Instagram keep asking me to confirm my phone number?
Instagram asks when it detects something unusual, such as a new device, a login from a new location, many follows in a short time, or an account without confirmed contact information. Confirming a number that can receive SMS usually clears the checkpoint, though Instagram may also request a selfie video.
Instagram says it couldn't send a code. What should I do?
First check that you picked the right country code and didn't add an extra digit. If Instagram still refuses the number, or no code shows up, cancel it after 2 minutes for an instant refund, or wait out the 20 minutes for an automatic one. Waiting a little before trying another number also helps.
Can I remove the virtual number from Instagram later?
Yes, as long as the account has another contact method. Add and confirm your email in Accounts Center under Personal details first, then remove or replace the phone number. Instagram may ask you to confirm the change with a code sent to your email.
Can I use rented numbers to run many Instagram accounts?
Noir SMS is only for verifying accounts you own and use legitimately. Mass account creation, fake engagement, spam, impersonation and getting around Instagram bans violate both our acceptable use policy and Instagram's terms. For legitimate needs, Instagram lets you add several of your own accounts and switch between them in the app.
