OneForma SMS Verification

Need to clear the OneForma SMS verification step to work on AI data projects? See what a virtual number solves at sign-up and why KYC is a separate check.

OneForma is a crowdsourcing platform owned by Centific, a data and AI services company, offering contributors in more than 100 countries projects in data annotation, data collection, judging, transcription and translation. Payments are made twice a month with no minimum threshold. Phone and e-mail verification are among the basic profile steps, helping show that each account belongs to a real person.

A virtual number can be an option for freelancers who want to receive the SMS code while building a profile without sharing a personal number with a jobs platform. KYC identity verification is mandatory on OneForma, though, and a profile is not activated for projects until it is done with your own identity. Payouts go to accounts in your name as well, so the number only covers the SMS step.

Project notifications and account security messages go to your registered contact details, so if you plan to work there for a while, choose a number you will keep. People who ask for a fee to give you OneForma work, or who want your ID sent by e-mail, may be scammers; upload documents only through the platform's own verification screen.
