Apple Account Virtual Number for SMS Verification
Apple may accept a virtual number for the verification code during Apple Account creation, but Apple can refuse numbers and, more importantly, uses trusted phone numbers for two-factor authentication and recovery. SmsBuyz rents the number for one activation only, so treat it as a sign-up step and add a number you will keep before relying on the account. If Apple never sends the code, cancel while the order is pending and your balance is restored.

About Apple Account phone verification
An Apple Account, previously called Apple ID, is the sign-in used for iCloud, the App Store, iMessage, FaceTime, Apple Music and device features like Find My. New accounts typically use two-factor authentication, which relies on trusted devices and at least one trusted phone number that can receive codes by text message or phone call. Apple may send a code to that number when you sign in on a new device or browser, and account recovery can depend on it. You can add more than one trusted number, and Apple also offers recovery contacts and a recovery key.
Why use a separate number for Apple Account?
- Creating an Apple Account for a developer test device or App Store testing that you manage.
- Setting up a separate account for a shared family device while keeping your personal number private at sign-up.
- Creating an account for app reviewing or QA on a device that has no SIM card.
How to get a Apple Account verification code
- Top up your SmsBuyz balance (crypto; the first deposit gets a 20% bonus).
- Select Apple Account in the service panel.
- Choose a country with numbers in stock and check the final price.
- Buy the number and enter it in Apple Account exactly as the app asks for it.
- Copy the code from your order page. If nothing arrives while the order is pending, cancel it to get the amount back.
Apple Account tips before you order
- Choose "text message" as the verification method when Apple offers a choice; the rented number cannot answer phone calls.
- As soon as the account is active, add a second trusted phone number that you own, then remove the rented one from the trusted numbers list.
- Sign in on at least one Apple device you keep, so it becomes a trusted device that can show verification codes.
- Set up a recovery contact or recovery key if they suit you, and store the key securely offline.
- Do not buy apps or store family photos on an account whose only trusted number is a temporary rental; losing access can mean losing that content.
- If Apple says the number cannot be used, cancel the pending order and pick another country.
Apple Account virtual number FAQ
Is Apple ID the same as Apple Account?
Yes, Apple renamed Apple ID to Apple Account. The sign-in and verification steps are the same.
Why should I not keep the virtual number as a trusted number?
Apple may send two-factor codes and recovery messages to trusted numbers. A one-time rental cannot receive them later, which could lock you out.
Can I use the number to recover an existing Apple Account?
No, recovery must use the trusted numbers and devices already on that account. A new rental is not linked to it.
Will Apple accept any virtual number?
No, Apple decides whether a number can receive codes. If it refuses before a code arrives, cancel for a refund.
Does this affect iMessage or FaceTime?
iMessage and FaceTime can use your Apple Account email or the phone number of the device. A verification number does not automatically become your iMessage number.
How much does a Apple Account verification number cost?
The catalogue price for Apple Account starts at $0.5662 per activation. The final price depends on the country and route you pick and is shown before you pay.
What happens if the Apple Account code never arrives?
An order waits up to 20 minutes for the SMS. While it is still pending you can cancel it and the amount returns to your SmsBuyz balance; pending orders that expire are refunded automatically.
