About imo phone verification
imo is a free messaging and video calling app that is popular for keeping in touch with family abroad, particularly in parts of South Asia, the Middle East and Africa, partly because it is designed to work on slower connections. Registration is based on a phone number: imo typically sends a verification code by SMS and may offer a phone-call option if the text does not arrive. imo may ask you to verify again if you reinstall the app or move to another phone, and your contacts usually find you through the number saved in their address book.
Why use a separate number for imo?
- Calling relatives overseas on a secondary profile without sharing your main phone number with a wider group.
- Using imo on a tablet or spare phone that has no SIM card of its own.
- Keeping community or group calls separate from your personal contacts.
How to get a imo verification code
- Top up your SmsBuyz balance (crypto; the first deposit gets a 20% bonus).
- Select imo in the service panel.
- Choose a country with numbers in stock and check the final price.
- Buy the number and enter it in imo 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.
imo tips before you order
- Wait for the SMS on your order page before tapping any "call me" option, since the rented number receives text messages only.
- Because contacts find you through your number, share it only with the people you want to call you on imo.
- Check imo settings for any backup or linked-login options after you sign up, so the account is not tied only to the rented number.
- If imo shows an error or no SMS arrives, cancel the pending order and try another country rather than repeating the request many times.
imo virtual number FAQ
Can I make video calls right after activation?
Yes, once imo accepts the code, the account works like any other imo profile. Contacts need to save the number to find you.
Will imo ask for verification again?
It may, especially after reinstalling or changing phones. A one-time rental cannot receive later codes, so keep the app installed on the same device.
What if the code never arrives?
Cancel the order while it is still pending and the amount returns to your balance. Unused orders are also refunded automatically when the 20-minute window ends.
Do I need a SIM card in my phone?
No, imo only needs internet access once activated. The SMS code is read from your SmsBuyz order page.
Can I choose which country the number comes from?
Yes, you pick the country before buying, and the imo price depends on the country and route you select. Stock changes constantly, so a country may be temporarily unavailable.
How much does a imo verification number cost?
The catalogue price for imo starts at $0.3088 per activation. The final price depends on the country and route you pick and is shown before you pay.
What happens if the imo 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.
