Claude SMS Verification

Complete Claude SMS verification with a virtual number so you don't have to share your personal phone number when signing up for Anthropic's AI assistant.

Claude is an AI chat assistant developed by Anthropic that helps with tasks like writing, summarizing, coding and answering questions. To block automated bots and abuse and to confirm that each account belongs to a real person, the platform verifies you by sending an SMS code to your phone number during sign-up. This step is part of creating an account on both free and paid plans.

To verify with a virtual number, enter your temporary number in the phone field on the sign-up screen and type the incoming SMS code. This method is practical for protecting your privacy without exposing your personal number to promotional messages, separating work from personal use, or keeping your number hidden while screen-sharing. Once verification is complete, you can use Claude just like any normal account.

Use your account in line with Anthropic's terms of use; verification is only one step in completing sign-up, so set a strong password and a current email for lasting access. Never share your SMS code with anyone and enter codes only on the official claude.ai address. Make sure your number is supported in your region, since verification can behave differently from place to place.
