Frequently asked questions
How do I get a France phone number for SMS verification?
Pick France in the catalog, then the app. A private +33 number is reserved for 20 minutes and the code appears in your dashboard. You pay only if the code arrives; otherwise the held amount goes back to your balance automatically.
Does a French virtual number work for Ubisoft or Airbnb?
Yes. Both list France among their best countries on SMS Nitro. Choose France and the app, enter the number as +33 6 XX XX XX XX or +33 7 XX XX XX XX, request the code and read it in your dashboard.
Why does Leboncoin reject my foreign number?
Leboncoin and most French marketplaces send codes to French mobiles only and check the +33 6 or +33 7 range before sending. A French verification number passes that check, and the SMS reaches your dashboard, usually within seconds.
