Rent a number under YouTube
In Noir SMS, select YouTube, choose the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom, and buy the number. It's reserved for 20 minutes.
Every YouTube channel starts with basic features. To upload videos longer than 15 minutes, add custom thumbnails, live stream or appeal Content ID claims, YouTube asks you to verify a phone number, usually at youtube.com/verify, with a code sent by text or voice call. Creators often don't want a personal number attached to a channel they run for a brand or a side project. This check uses Google's verification system, and it's a one-time step: once a channel is verified, the features don't depend on the number. Noir SMS reserves a mobile number for YouTube for 20 minutes and refunds you if no SMS arrives.

Yes. YouTube asks for a phone code to unlock features like videos longer than 15 minutes, custom thumbnails and live streaming. Choose YouTube in Noir SMS, rent a US, Canada or UK number, enter it at youtube.com/verify, and pick the text message option. The code appears in your dashboard; if no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, you're refunded. The features stay unlocked after the number expires.
One number, one YouTube verification. Pay only for what you use.

In Noir SMS, select YouTube, choose the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom, and buy the number. It's reserved for 20 minutes.
Signed in as the channel, pick your country, choose Text me the verification code, and enter the number.
Type the code from your dashboard and submit. Long uploads and custom thumbnails unlock right away; live streaming can take up to 24 hours to switch on.
Once your channel is verified, the intermediate features stay on even after the rented number is recycled. That makes a single-use number a reasonable fit here, unlike for account recovery.
YouTube limits how many channels one phone number can verify each year (two, according to YouTube's help pages). A recycled number may already have hit that limit; if YouTube says so, cancel for a refund and try another.
Some advanced features use channel history or video and ID verification instead of a phone. A phone code covers the intermediate features, not everything.
According to YouTube, verifying a phone unlocks intermediate features: videos longer than 15 minutes, custom thumbnails, live streaming and appealing Content ID claims. Live streaming may take up to 24 hours to become available after verification.
YouTube caps how many channels a single phone number can verify in a year. Numbers are recycled between users, so a rented number may already have hit that cap. Cancel it after 2 minutes for an instant refund and buy another.
No. The verification is recorded on the channel, so features stay unlocked. What the number won't do is help you recover the Google account later, so keep a recovery email and your own 2-Step Verification on it.
Choose YouTube when you're verifying a channel at youtube.com/verify. It uses the same Google verification system, so either receives the code, but each purchase covers one verification.
