Yandex/Uber SMS Verification

Get your SMS verification code for Yandex/Uber — the service behind Yandex Go — with a virtual number, and verify your account quickly without sharing your phone.

Yandex is one of the largest internet companies in Russia and neighbouring countries, offering a search engine, maps, email and transport services. Its Yandex Go app runs the taxi and ride-hailing service that, for a time, merged with Uber in the region. Both rider and driver accounts are linked to a phone number for security and identity, so SMS verification at sign-up and login is the standard way to bind an account to its number.

To verify Yandex/Uber with a virtual number, select the relevant service from the list, enter the number you receive into the app's phone field, and confirm the SMS code. It suits riders who have just arrived in a region and do not yet have a local line, people who prefer not to attach a personal number to a transport app, or anyone opening a second account. Testing the app's interface and pricing in another country is another common scenario.

A Yandex account stores personal data such as your trip history, payment cards and saved addresses, so keeping it secure matters. Since contact with the driver during a trip mostly runs through the app, you do not need to share your personal number. Never give your verification code to anyone, and enter it only in the official Yandex Go or Uber app — stay alert to fake login pages.
