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.

Why use a second number on Tinder?
Tinder uses your number to verify your account and your logins. If you later decide to swap numbers with a match, a second number keeps your personal one out of it.
Tinder says my new number is already in use. Why?
A phone number can only be verified on one Tinder account at a time, so a number already tied to another account has to be released first.
What if I lose the number I signed up with?
Tap Log In, choose the trouble logging in option and enter the email on your account to recover it, then add a number you control.
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 Tinder?
No. We test our numbers with popular services and publish the results. Tinder 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.
