Why the line type matters
Dating apps often check whether a number is mobile, landline or VoIP before sending a code, and many turn VoIP numbers away. TwinNumber numbers are registered as mobile.

Can I change my Bumble number on the website?
No, Bumble only lets you update login methods in the mobile app.
What happens if I lose my number and have no backup login?
Bumble says it cannot restore access in that case, which is why it asks for a second login method before you change numbers.
Why use a second number for dating?
It keeps your personal number private while Bumble still has a real mobile line to verify you. TwinNumber numbers are registered as mobile.
Do I need to live in the U.S.?
No. TwinNumber works from 150+ countries with just a browser and an internet connection.
Is TwinNumber affiliated with Bumble?
No. We test our numbers with popular services and publish the results. Bumble is a trademark of its owner.
What if a code doesn't arrive?
Request a new code, then check your inbox and notification settings. If it keeps failing, contact us and we'll look into it.
