# Temporary number for Truecaller verification

Truecaller is a caller-ID and spam-blocking app that ties your profile to one phone number. On first launch it asks for that number and sends a 6-digit SMS code; on some Android phones it first tries to verify through a missed call. Truecaller accepts most carriers but refuses part of the VoIP ranges, so SMS Nitro marks it as mixed. The verified number becomes your public caller-ID entry. With SMS Nitro the number is reserved for 20 minutes, you read the code in your dashboard and you pay only if the code arrives.

## Can I verify Truecaller with a temporary number?

Yes. Pick Truecaller in the catalog, choose a country (India, Nigeria, Kenya have the best recent results), enter the number in the app and read the 6-digit code in your dashboard. The number is reserved for 20 minutes and you are charged only when the SMS arrives. Truecaller accepts numbers from most countries; physical-SIM pools pass the strictest checks. Numbers for Truecaller are unlimited and never run out.

## Tips to keep the Truecaller account

- When Truecaller offers to verify by missed call or by calling you, pick the SMS option. SMS Nitro numbers receive text messages only.
- Select the same country flag in Truecaller as in the dashboard and type the number without the country code.
- Fill in your name and add an email to the Truecaller profile within the 20 minutes; the email is what lets you restore the profile later.
- Finished testing? Deactivate the account in Truecaller Settings > Privacy Center so the number is not left as a public caller ID.

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

- Truecaller keeps trying a missed-call verification → cancel and choose the SMS option, or run the sign-up on an iPhone where SMS is the default route.
- Code rejected or 'Verification failed' → type the 6 digits within the timer shown in the app; request a new code and watch the dashboard for the newest message.
- No SMS within 20 minutes → the hold returns to your balance automatically; pick another country from the Truecaller catalog and try again.
