A real phone number for Snapchat

Snapchat uses your phone number to verify you, to help friends find you and to get you back in if you forget your password. A real ZuteSIP number lets you do all of that while keeping your personal SIM to yourself.

Friend suggestions and your privacy

Snapchat can suggest your profile to people who have your number saved in their contacts, depending on your settings. For many users that is exactly the problem: an old colleague or a stranger with your number sees you pop up.

A dedicated number means only people you deliberately share it with can connect it to you. You can also adjust who can find you by phone number in Snapchat's privacy settings.

How Snapchat verifies a number

When you add or change a mobile number, Snapchat sends a verification code by SMS, and in some cases may offer a call instead. The same number can later receive password reset codes and, if you choose, login verification codes.

With ZuteSIP, SMS appear in your dashboard straight away and calls can be answered in the browser dialer or forwarded to your own phone.

Linking the number to Snapchat

  1. Buy a mobile number from your ZuteSIP account in the country you prefer.
  2. In Snapchat, open settings, then mobile number, and enter it with the country code.
  3. Copy the verification code from your dashboard into the app.
  4. Turn on two-factor authentication; an authenticator app plus the SMS number as backup works well.
  5. Save your recovery code somewhere safe.

Troubleshooting Snapchat verification

Snapchat for brands and small teams

Brands running a Public Profile or Snapchat ads want the account tied to the business rather than a staff member's phone. A company-held number keeps password resets and security codes in a shared ZuteSIP dashboard, so the account survives staff changes.

If customers call the number instead of messaging, those calls can be forwarded to any phone or picked up in a SIP app, so enquiries are not lost. Keep it to one legitimate account for the brand and follow Snapchat's community guidelines.

Streaks, memories and long-term access

Years of Memories and friendships can hinge on being able to log back in. If your number lapses, password reset by SMS stops working. ZuteSIP numbers can be kept as long as you want and renew automatically from your wallet.

For Snapchat, a mobile number is the most sensible type since codes arrive by SMS. Snapchat decides which numbers it accepts, so try the number soon after buying it.
