# Temporary number for 99 verification

99, Brazil's homegrown ride-hailing app (part of DiDi), confirms every account with a mobile number. It sends a 4-digit code by SMS at signup and on each new phone. 99 is strict with VoIP lines and rejects most of them, so the catalog marks physical-SIM countries for it. The same login covers 99Food and 99Pay. If 99 offers to call you, request the SMS instead; SMS Nitro numbers receive texts only. The number is reserved for 20 minutes and you pay only if the code arrives.

## Can I verify 99 with a temporary number?

Yes. Pick 99 in the catalog, choose a country (Brazil have the best recent results), enter the number in the app and read the 4-digit code in your dashboard. The number is reserved for 20 minutes and you are charged only when the SMS arrives. 99 rejects most VoIP numbers, so choose a country marked physical SIM. Numbers for 99 are unlimited and never run out.

## How to get a 99 verification code

1. **Choose 99 in the catalog** Pick a country; the price is shown before you confirm.

3. **Read the 4-digit code** It appears in your dashboard within seconds of being sent.

## Why use a temporary number for 99?

- Book rides in Brazilian cities as a visitor before buying a local SIM card.
- Give a company travel account its own number instead of an employee's personal line.
- Test the 99 signup and ride flow for a corporate travel integration.

## Best countries for 99 verification

99 operates in Brazil, and its phone field defaults to +55. Brazil is the match: $0.12 at the last price snapshot, from the physical-SIM pool that 99 accepts. The catalog also lists 99 for other countries at lower prices: the United Kingdom at $0.08, and Portugal, Poland, the Netherlands and Israel at $0.10 at the last snapshot. Those suit QA teams that only need the 4-digit SMS to arrive. For a 99 account you will ride with in Brazil, take Brazil.

## Tips to keep the 99 account

- Add your email in the 99 profile right after signup so a later login does not depend only on the phone.
- When 99 shows the option to receive a call, pick SMS; the code has 4 digits and arrives as a text.
- Enter the two-digit area code and the nine digits; do not repeat +55 if the flag is already set.
- Add a payment method and complete your first booking inside the 20-minute reservation.

## If 99 rejects the number or the code is slow

- 99 offers only a call → go back one step and choose SMS. The number does not receive calls, and a call attempt is never charged.
- No 4-digit code after two minutes → tap resend once. If nothing arrives before the reservation ends, the held amount is refunded automatically.
- 99 says the number is already in use → the line is attached to another account. Request a different Brazilian number.

## FAQ

**Does 99 accept a temporary number for verification?** Yes, with a Brazilian mobile line from a real carrier. 99 rejects most VoIP ranges, so pick Brazil from the physical-SIM pool, $0.12 at the last price snapshot. The 4-digit SMS code shows in your SMS Nitro dashboard and you pay only if it arrives.

**Why does the 99 app want to call me instead of texting?** 99 offers a voice call as an alternative to SMS. SMS Nitro numbers receive text messages only, so choose the SMS option. If you accidentally request a call, go back and ask for the code by SMS; the number stays reserved for 20 minutes.

**How many digits is the 99 verification code?** Four. 99 sends a 4-digit code by SMS, which is shorter than most apps. Type it within the time 99 shows on screen; if it expires, request a new SMS and read the newest message in your dashboard.

**Can I use 99Food and 99Pay with the same number?** Yes. 99Food and 99Pay use the same 99 account, so one confirmed number covers the ride, delivery and payment services. Add an email in the profile so later logins have a second channel.

**What happens if the 99 code does not arrive?** You are not charged. The amount is held while the number is reserved for 20 minutes and refunded to your balance automatically if no SMS arrives. Request another number and repeat the signup.

**How much does a temporary number for 99 cost?** From $0.08 per delivered code in United Kingdom at the last price snapshot; physical-SIM pools and strict countries cost more. The exact price for 99 is shown before you confirm and is frozen until the SMS arrives.

**How long is the number reserved for 99?** 20 minutes. During that time the number is yours alone and every SMS from 99 appears in your dashboard. You pay only when the first code arrives.

**What if the 99 code never arrives?** You are not charged. The held amount returns to your balance automatically and you can take another number for 99, from the same or a different country, right away.

**Does 99 accept virtual numbers?** Rarely. 99 checks the carrier behind the number and refuses most VoIP ranges, so pick a country marked physical SIM; those are real carrier lines.

**Can I receive a second 99 code on the same number?** Yes, while the number is active, at no extra cost. Ask 99 to resend and read the new SMS in the same dashboard row; the latest code is the valid one.

**Does 99 see my real phone number?** No. 99 only sees the temporary number you typed. Your personal number is never shared, and the SMS is read in your SMS Nitro dashboard, not on your phone.
