Your trip texts you. Make sure you get the message.
Hosts, drivers and booking sites reach you by text when plans change. A U.S. mobile number in your browser receives those messages wherever you are, before you land and after.

Why travel apps want a mobile number
Booking and ride apps use your phone number to confirm it's you, send sign-in codes and put you in touch with a host or driver. Many check whether a number is mobile or VoIP before they accept it, and a rejected number can hold up a booking at the worst moment. TwinNumber numbers are registered as mobile, and they work over hotel Wi-Fi just as they do at home.
Tips
- 01
Set it up before you fly
Add your TwinNumber to your travel accounts at home, while your current phone still receives codes. You won't be changing a phone number at the airport gate.
- 02
Turn on notifications
A driver's "I'm outside" text only helps if you see it in time. Turn on browser notifications or forwarding to your phone so pickup messages never sit unread.
- 03
One number for every trip
Use the same number for stays, flights and rides, and confirmations, receipts and host messages all land in one inbox.
Questions
Can drivers and hosts call me?
Yes. Calls to your TwinNumber ring in your browser or are forwarded to your phone, and the caller only sees your TwinNumber.
Do I need roaming or a U.S. SIM card?
No. It works over any internet connection, including hotel and airport Wi-Fi, so you can leave roaming off.
Can I use it if I don't live in the U.S.?
Yes. Plenty of travelers book U.S. stays and rides from abroad. With a U.S. number, texts from your driver or host reach you like they would any other guest.
Will my host see my personal number?
Only the number on your account is shared. If that's your TwinNumber, your personal number stays out of it.
Your private number is waiting.
