Get your Facebook code without your own number.

Q: Can I use the same address for Facebook and Instagram?

No. Each vSMS address covers one app's sign-up, so get a new one for each.

Q: What happens if Facebook asks for a code again later?

The temporary address or number closes after its window, so it can't receive later codes. For a number you keep, the vSMS iPhone app offers a second number for calls and incoming texts.

Q: Do I pay if no code arrives?

No. When Facebook's code doesn't arrive before the window ends, your credits are refunded automatically.

Facebook confirms a new account with a code sent to the mobile number or e-mail address you give it. vSMS gives you a temporary address or number for that one code, so your own details stay out of it.

No code? Your credits come back automatically.

Number or e-mail?

Two ways to get your Facebook code.

Both work. A temporary e-mail address is the easiest: there's no country to pick, and the code lands straight in vSMS. A temporary number works too; pick a country rated High in the country list for the best odds.

Tips

Good to know before you start.

Ask Facebook to send the code only once you have the address or number open in vSMS.
Ask Facebook for the code once, and give it time to arrive before asking again.
Write your password down. A temporary address or number won't be there for a later code.
