Why use a temporary number for Linode
Linode asks for a phone number to confirm that a real person is signing up. A temporary number lets you pass that check while your own number stays out of one more database.
Keep your real number private
Your personal number is never shared with Linode, so it cannot leak in a data breach, be sold on, or be used to connect your other accounts.
Run a second account
Keep work and personal profiles apart, or try something new, without buying a second SIM card just for Linode.
Fewer marketing texts and calls
Once an app has your number, promotional messages tend to follow. A number used once for Linode keeps that noise away from your phone.
Get the code wherever you are
Travelling, or your carrier is slow to deliver SMS from Linode? Pick a number in a country that works well and read the code online.
Using a temporary number with Linode
Business and cloud tools like Linode verify phone numbers to protect workspaces and limit automated accounts. A temporary number fits test accounts, sandboxes and short projects. For the account that holds your real work, add a number you keep, because recovery and two-factor codes are sent to it.
Not another dead free number
Free public Linode numbers are a shared pool: the same number reaches thousands of people, is already used, and comes with no refund, so the code often never lands. A TempCode number is a private operator number, reserved for you and used once. If no code arrives, your balance is returned automatically.
Tips for a smooth Linode verification
- 1Pick a country with a high live success rate for Linode. It is shown next to every country before you pay.
- 2Request the code on Linode right after the number appears, while it is reserved for you.
- 3Type the number exactly as shown, including the country code.
- 4If no SMS arrives within a few minutes, cancel the number. Your credits come back and you can try another country.
- 5Use each number for one account only. Numbers are single-use and are not kept for later codes.
Good to know before you start
- The number is yours for one verification. It cannot receive codes again later, so it is not meant for password resets or two-factor login on Linode.
- Follow the terms of Linode. A temporary number keeps your own number private, it does not change the rules of the platform.
- Your code is shown only in your TempCode account, and the number is not given to anyone else while it is yours.
Linode verification, answered
Can I get a verification code for Linode without using my own number?
Yes. Rent a temporary number, use it to sign up or verify on Linode, and read the SMS code here. Your personal number is never shown.
Is this a free Linode number?
No, and that is the point. Free numbers are shared and usually already used, so the code rarely arrives. A TempCode number costs a few credits, is yours alone, and is refunded if no code comes.
What if the Linode code does not arrive?
If no code reaches the number, your balance is restored automatically. You are never charged for a number that did not deliver.
My Linode verification code did not arrive, what now?
Keep the page open: the SMS shows up here the instant it lands. If it never arrives, cancel the number for a full refund, then try another country with a higher success rate.
Does a temporary number work for Linode?
In most cases, yes. We show the live success rate per country for Linode before you pay, so you pick a number that is actually delivering right now.
What kind of number do I get for Linode?
A real operator number, reserved just for you and used once, not a shared public number recycled across thousands of signups. That is why the code actually reaches you.
How much does a Linode number cost?
It depends on the country. Right now a Linode number starts at $0.80, and the exact price for every country is shown before you pay. There is no subscription: you top up credits once and spend them when you need a number.
Can I keep the Linode number for later?
No. Each number is rented for a single verification and released afterwards. For an account you plan to keep for years, add your own number in the settings of Linode once you are set up, so recovery codes reach you.
