Thumbtack Verification with a Virtual Number

Thumbtack is a US marketplace for hiring local pros, from house cleaners and movers to photographers and plumbers. Customers describe a job and get quotes; pros pay to reach customers. Both sides may be asked to confirm a phone number by text, and the number on the account is often how pros and customers end up calling each other about the job. Noir SMS can receive the sign-up code on a US carrier mobile number, which some customers use to keep their personal number private while comparing quotes. It is only for receiving that code on your own account: Thumbtack may run background checks or business verification on pros, and a rented number doesn't replace any of that.

Quick answer

A Noir SMS number can receive the Thumbtack sign-up code for your own account. Pick Thumbtack in the dashboard, choose a US number (Thumbtack only serves the US), enter it and paste the code. No SMS in 20 minutes means an automatic refund. The number receives that code only; Thumbtack's background checks and pro reviews still apply, and pros and customers need a phone they can answer.

How to get your Thumbtack code

STEP 01

Rent a US number for Thumbtack

In the Noir SMS dashboard, select Thumbtack and pick a United States number. Thumbtack operates only in the US, so a +1 US number is the right choice.

STEP 02

Enter it on Thumbtack

When Thumbtack asks for a phone number while you create your account or request quotes, enter the rented number and request the code.

STEP 03

Verify, then set your contact phone

Paste the code from your dashboard. Before you hire or quote, set a phone you can answer, since pros and customers often call to discuss the job.

Before you verify Thumbtack

Verification only, not identity

Thumbtack may run background checks and confirm business details or licenses for pros. A temporary number only receives the sign-up code on your own account and never stands in for those checks, a real identity or a real business.

Jobs need calls

Pros often call customers to confirm an address, a time or a quote. A Noir SMS number receives texts for 20 minutes only and can't take calls, so leaving it on an active job means missed messages and lost work.

US only

Thumbtack serves the United States. If you're in Canada or the UK, you can't hire local pros through it, and a US number won't change that. Local directories or other freelance sites are a better fit there.

Thumbtack virtual number: FAQ

Does Thumbtack require a phone number?

Thumbtack usually asks for a phone number when you request quotes or set up a pro profile, and it may confirm it by text code. Pros and customers often use it to contact each other, so it matters beyond sign-up.

Can a pro use a temporary number on Thumbtack?

Only to receive the sign-up code on your own account, and only briefly. Customers need to reach you, and Thumbtack may verify your identity, background or business. A rented number replaces none of that, so put your real business line on the profile.

Is Thumbtack available in Canada or the UK?

No, Thumbtack operates in the United States only. A Noir SMS number can't make it available in other countries; it just receives the verification text for a US account.

Why use a virtual number as a Thumbtack customer?

Some customers want to compare quotes before sharing their personal number. A rented number covers the verification text; once you've picked a pro, update the account to a number you answer so they can reach you.

What if the Thumbtack code doesn't arrive?

Check that the number was entered without extra digits and wait a minute before resending. If nothing reaches your dashboard within 20 minutes, the charge goes back to your balance automatically.
