Justdial SMS Verification

Justdial SMS verification lets you receive the confirmation code with a virtual number while registering on India's local-search platform.

Justdial, founded in 1996, is India's leading local-search service, where users find businesses and services across thousands of categories such as restaurants, doctors, repairmen and hotels. An account is needed both for people searching for information and for owners listing a business. The platform sends a one-time (OTP) SMS code to your phone number to verify the user and the business listing.

To register on Justdial with a virtual number, you obtain a number, enter it in the field on the sign-up or business-listing screen, and verify by viewing the incoming OTP in your panel. This suits people who want to use the platform without exposing their personal line, test the sign-up flow from abroad, or collect business notifications on a separate number. In particular, users who only want to search and view business details can quickly create an account without giving a personal number.

Users who list a business on Justdial usually receive calls and messages from customers, so a reachable number matters for a genuine business listing. A virtual number is ideal specifically for receiving the first verification code. If you expect ongoing contact after registration, keep the line active; if it's only for verification, you can finish once the code arrives.
