Virtual Number for OfferUp Verification
OfferUp is a US local marketplace app where you can sign up with email, Google, Apple or Facebook. It may ask you to add and confirm a phone number, which it verifies with a code sent by text, as a basic trust and security signal. OfferUp's TruYou badge is a separate identity verification that uses your photo ID and a selfie. Buyers and sellers usually message inside the app. A Noir SMS number, a carrier mobile number reserved for 20 minutes, lets you complete the text confirmation without giving a marketplace your personal number.

Quick answer
Yes. If OfferUp asks you to verify a phone number by text, a Noir SMS number can receive the code. Rent a US number for OfferUp, enter it in the app and copy the code from your dashboard; no SMS within 20 minutes means an automatic refund. Phone verification is separate from OfferUp's TruYou identity check, and it's for your own honest buying and selling.

How to get your OfferUp code
Add it in the OfferUp app
When OfferUp prompts you to verify a phone number, or from your account settings, enter the number with +1. OfferUp sends a code.
Confirm the code
Copy the code from your dashboard into OfferUp. Keep chatting with buyers and sellers in the app rather than sharing a phone number.
Before you verify OfferUp
TruYou needs your real ID
OfferUp's TruYou verification checks a government photo ID and a selfie. It's unrelated to the phone number, and it must be completed with your real identity; a virtual number can't and shouldn't stand in for it.
Meet-up communication stays in the app
OfferUp is built around in-app chat, which helps you avoid sharing a personal number with strangers. A Noir SMS number can't receive calls and is recycled after use, so don't give it to buyers as your contact.
No marketplace scams
Fake listings, overpayment and shipping scams, counterfeit items, multiple accounts and returning after an OfferUp ban are prohibited by OfferUp and by Noir SMS. Verify only your own account for honest local trading.

OfferUp virtual number: FAQ
Does OfferUp require a phone number?
OfferUp lets you sign up with email or a Google, Apple or Facebook account, but it may ask you to verify a phone number as a trust and security step. The code arrives by text. If you'd rather not share your own number, a temporary Noir SMS number from the US can receive it.
Can I use a virtual number for OfferUp verification?
Usually, yes. Noir SMS numbers are carrier mobile numbers rather than VoIP lines such as Google Voice or TextNow, so they're accepted in most cases. If OfferUp rejects a number or no code arrives within 20 minutes, the charge returns to your balance and you can try again.
Is phone verification the same as OfferUp TruYou?
No. Phone verification just confirms a number by SMS. TruYou is OfferUp's identity verification, which uses your government ID and a selfie to show buyers and sellers you're a real person. It must be done with your genuine identity, and a virtual number has no role in it.
Is it safe to give OfferUp buyers my phone number?
It's generally safer to keep conversations in OfferUp's chat until you're comfortable, which is also how OfferUp recommends handling deals. Using a temporary number for verification keeps your personal number out of the app. Don't pass the rented number to buyers; it can't receive calls and is recycled.
What uses of Noir SMS are not allowed on marketplaces?
Anything deceptive: fake or bait listings, payment and shipping scams, selling counterfeit goods, impersonation, spam, mass account creation or evading an OfferUp ban. Our numbers are for verifying your own legitimate account while protecting your privacy, and accounts used for fraud are closed.
