New ZealandKeep the number while you keep the account
Many services send a code when you sign in from a new device. Losing the number can mean losing the account.
Sign-ups & codes
Sign up for anything. Keep your number private.
Every app, shop and newsletter wants your phone number — and every one of them can leak it or use it for marketing. Use a HeyNum number to verify your accounts and receive codes, and keep your personal number off the lists.
- Codes delivered instantly
- A real mobile number apps accept
- Your personal number stays off the lists
Why a second number
Your personal number, protected
With your personal number
- Data leaks expose millions of phone numbers every year.
- Shops and apps use your number for marketing calls and texts.
- Free “receive SMS online” sites show your codes to everyone.
With a HeyNum number
- Verify accounts with a private HeyNum number.
- Receive codes in real time — visible only to you.
- Keep the number for as long as you keep the accounts.

Practical tips
Five habits that keep you safe
Good advice, whether or not you use HeyNum.
Use an authenticator for key accounts
For your email, banking and work accounts, an authenticator app or a passkey is safer than any SMS.
Avoid public SMS websites
Codes on “receive SMS online” sites are visible to anyone — and so is the way into your account.
One number is enough
You don't need a number per account: one HeyNum number can verify as many accounts as you like.
Play by the rules
Creating accounts in bulk or getting around a service's limits isn't allowed — and gets numbers blocked.

FAQ
Sign-ups & codes: your questions
Still have a question?
Our support team is made of real humans. Write to us and we'll get back to you fast.
Contact supportWill every app accept my HeyNum number?
Most will: HeyNum numbers come from real mobile ranges. Each service sets its own rules, though, and a few — mostly banks and payment apps — only accept numbers from traditional carriers.
How fast do codes arrive?
Usually within seconds of the service sending them. If you've allowed notifications, you'll see the code pop up even when HeyNum isn't on screen.
Can I use the same number for many accounts?
Yes. One HeyNum number can verify as many of your own accounts as you like.
What happens to my accounts if I cancel?
Codes sent to the number will no longer reach you, so update the phone number on your important accounts before you cancel.
