Travel and ride 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.

ExpediaQuestions
Will my Uber driver see my number?
No. When you call or text through the app, Uber says drivers don't see your personal number; they reach you through an anonymous local number that may change.
Can I use a foreign number on Uber?
Yes. Uber's help says the steps are the same, but your mobile carrier must have coverage where you are. A TwinNumber runs over the internet, so it doesn't rely on roaming.
I lost my old number. How do I get back in?
On the Get Started screen, tap Changed your mobile number? below the Mobile Number box and follow the prompts.
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 Uber?
No. We test our numbers with popular services and publish the results. Uber is a trademark of its owner.
