Temporary number for Tantan verification
Tantan is a swipe-based dating app from China with a large user base across Southeast Asia and Latin America. Sign-up asks for a mobile number with its country code and sends a 6-digit SMS code; the same code is requested when you log in on a new phone. Tantan accepts numbers from most carriers but refuses part of the VoIP ranges, so SMS Nitro marks it as mixed. With SMS Nitro the number is reserved for 20 minutes, you read the code in your dashboard and pay only if the code arrives.
Can I verify Tantan with a temporary number?
Yes. Pick Tantan in the catalog, choose a country (United States, Philippines, Malaysia 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. Tantan accepts numbers from most countries; physical-SIM pools pass the strictest checks. Numbers for Tantan are unlimited and never run out.

Tips to keep the Tantan account
- Choose the same country in Tantan's country list as in SMS Nitro and type the number without the + or the country code.
- Set a login password in Tantan account settings during the 20 minutes, so later logins do not depend on an SMS code.
- Stay logged in on the phone you used at sign-up; Tantan asks for a new code only when it sees a new device.
- If Tantan does not send the code within 20 minutes, the amount is refunded automatically and you can take another number.
If Tantan rejects the number or the code is slow
- 'Verification code sent' but nothing in the dashboard → wait two minutes, then tap resend once; the newest SMS shows up at the top of your dashboard.
- Tantan refuses the number or shows an error after you type it → the range was flagged as non-mobile; pick a physical-SIM country such as the United States or the Philippines.
- Tantan asks for a code at a later login → the number has expired; sign in with your password if you set one, otherwise register a new account with a fresh number.
