Outlier Verification with a Virtual Number

Outlier is a remote work platform, run by Scale AI, that pays contributors to train and evaluate AI models: writing prompts, rating answers and checking facts or code in their field. Applying usually involves creating an account, confirming your email and phone, taking skill assessments, and completing identity verification with a government ID and a selfie. Outlier may also check that you're working from the country you signed up in, since eligibility and pay depend on location. A Noir SMS number can receive the phone confirmation text on your own application, but it's only that: it doesn't stand in for your ID, your location or your eligibility.

Quick answer

A Noir SMS number can receive the Outlier phone verification code for your own account. Choose Outlier in the dashboard, pick a number in the country where you live, enter it and paste the code. No SMS in 20 minutes means an automatic refund. Outlier may verify your ID and location separately, and the number doesn't replace those checks.

How to get your Outlier code

STEP 01

Rent a number where you live

In the Noir SMS dashboard, select Outlier and pick a US, Canada or UK number that matches the country you actually live and work in. It's reserved for 20 minutes.

STEP 02

Enter it during Outlier sign-up

On outlier.ai, create your account with your real name and email. When asked to verify a phone number, choose the country code and enter the rented number.

STEP 03

Verify, then finish onboarding

Paste the code from your dashboard. Complete ID verification and assessments in your own name, and add your own phone afterward for future security codes.

Before you verify Outlier

ID and location checks still apply

Outlier may verify your identity with a government ID and selfie and may check your location. A temporary number only receives the sign-up code on your own account; it never replaces, fakes or bypasses those checks.

Your country decides eligibility

Projects and pay rates can depend on where you live. Pick a number in your real country. Using a foreign number to appear somewhere else breaks Outlier's rules and can get the account closed without pay.

One account per person

Outlier allows one account per contributor. Creating extra accounts, working on someone else's account or selling accounts is prohibited by Outlier and by Noir SMS's acceptable use rules.

Outlier virtual number: FAQ

Does Outlier require phone verification?

Outlier usually asks you to confirm a phone number during onboarding, alongside email confirmation and identity verification. A Noir SMS number can receive that code if you prefer not to use your personal number at first.

Can a virtual number get around Outlier's identity check?

No. Identity verification uses your government ID and a selfie, and location checks look at where you actually are. The phone code is a separate step. A number never replaces those checks, and trying to get around them is prohibited.

Is Outlier available in Canada and the UK?

Outlier has recruited contributors in the US, Canada, the UK and other countries, though available projects vary by country and change over time. Check the current eligibility on Outlier's site and pick a number in your own country.

What if the Outlier code doesn't arrive?

Confirm the country code and number, then wait a minute before resending. If nothing reaches your dashboard within 20 minutes, the charge is refunded to your balance automatically, and you can try a fresh number.

Should I keep the rented number on my Outlier account?

No. If Outlier sends a security or login code later, a recycled number won't reach you, and you could lose access to an account with pending earnings. Switch to your own phone once onboarding is done.
