    Temp numbers for apps

    Each page lists the free numbers that received that app's codes in the last 7 days, by country. Counts are codes sent to Canada numbers this week.

    Canada phone number format

    Country code
    +1
    Mobile number length
    10 digits after +1
    Pattern
    e.g. +1 XXX-XXX-XXXX

    Inside Canada, numbers are dialled with a leading 1; leave it out after +1.

    Canada shares country code +1 with the United States, and Canadian numbers have the same ten-digit format: a three-digit area code and a seven-digit number. A service that only checks the +1 code treats Canadian and US numbers alike; one that checks the area code can tell them apart.

    Private Canada number prices by app

    A private number is used by you alone. Its price depends on the app you need the code for:

    Prices checked on October 30, 2026. The current price is shown before you pay.

    Didn't get the code?

    Free numbers are shared, so a code can fail to arrive for reasons nobody here controls:

    • Someone else may already have used the number to sign up to the same service, so it refuses the number.
    • Many apps can block VoIP numbers and numbers that many people have used, and every public number here is used by many people.
    • Some services only send codes to certain countries.

    VoIP vs non-VoIP numbers

    A VoIP number runs over the internet. It is cheap and quick to issue, and many apps reject it for verification. A non-VoIP number belongs to a mobile carrier and is tied to a SIM card. Apps accept it more often, but none of them promise to.

    A private number is used by you alone, so nobody else can read your codes or reuse the number, and apps are less likely to refuse it.
