You can sign up on Hng without your personal number by using a brand-new SIM-based line, especially if you are shadowbanned.
Although your number isn’t visible, you can’t skip the SMS verification, so this is how to create a Hng account with a fake number instead!

What Phone Numbers Hng Accepts
Hng requires a phone number that supports SMS. It verifies profiles by sending a code to a phone and anchoring the number to the account.
Landlines typically don’t receive short-code SMS, and Hng doesn’t offer voice calls. If you don’t have a number, get a virtual or physical one to create an account.
📌 Hng allows one number per account: you can’t run two accounts on the same number. Numbers used on banned accounts are blacklisted.
Country/region matters too: You can’t join Hng in restricted countries, like Colombia. You have to use a supported country code (e.g., US/UK/CA/EU).
– Sign up for Hng without using your personal number in 3 easy steps:
1. Get a DatingZest Hng-Supported Number
DatingZest provides real phone numbers for dating app verification. It’s designed for users who prefer privacy, separation, and convenience when signing up.
Go to DatingZest for Hng to purchase your number. It’s a fast and anonymous process – no subscription traps!
DatingZest is the perfect solution for…
✅ Users who want to protect their privacy on Hng
✅ Banned users who can’t reuse their old numbers
✅ People constantly running into signup and login errors
2. Sign up for an account on Hng
Go on the Hng app and create an account using your DatingZest phone number. It works just as a regular number would.
Note: DatingZest numbers work for logging in from anywhere in the world. Hng’s security system doesn’t detect them.
3. Verify the Hng SMS code.
Wait a few seconds, then go to the DatingZest site (where you got the number) – copy the code sent by Hng on the dashboard.
Reopen the Hng app and paste the code into the field. This will verify your new Hng account without using your actual number!
DatingZest is the most reliable, budget-friendly way to use Hng without a number. Unlike a secondary SIM, which is too expensive and inconvenient to maintain.
What Numbers Might Give You Issues on Hng
You will have problems if you sign up on Hng with a VoIP line, free/public sources, or borrow someone else’s number.
– Does Google Voice work for Hng? Google Voice does not work for Hng because it is a VoIP service that often fails to receive verification codes and can trigger restrictions or shadowbans.
– Can I sign up on Hng using TextNow? Also no. TextNow numbers don’t work on Hng because it is a VoIP service, resulting in failed verification or account issues.
Free, public numbers rarely work because multiple people use them. If they do, Hng may lock you out and stop sending future SMS.
If you borrow a friend’s number, you’ll pass sign-up, but every future code goes to them; they also can’t make their own Hng later unless you delete yours.
Prepaid numbers (Hushed, OpenPhone, etc.) are usually flagged by Hng, so expect failures. Switch providers or use a physical/virtual SIM.
– Can you use your old phone number? If you are banned, so is your phone number – Hng checks your device, IP, photo metadata, and behavior. For a fresh start, use completely new info…
- Use a fresh number (from a trustworthy service like DatingZest).
- Switch Wi-Fi or use data. If you must, pick a good VPN
- Use a different device or hard-reset the same one.
- Don’t reuse identical photos/captions on your Hng profile.
- Slowly build up activity (avoid mass-messaging).
How to Log In to a Dating App Without a Phone Number
Link your Apple ID or Google so that you don’t have to type in the SMS every time. Hng may randomly ask you to re-verify, though.
Go to your Hng profile settings > Connected Accounts > toggle on Apple/Google. You can’t log in or sign up with only an email.
✏️ If you lose the number, Hng Support may offer to delete your account so that you can start fresh, but they can’t move numbers around.
‼️ Important…Weak numbers trigger verification errors: codes that don’t arrive, “Too many verification requests” or “Too many login attempts” codes, random signouts, and the “Number already in use” notification.
You can’t skip Hng’s SMS step, but you can use a fake number from a private virtual source you can access (e.g., DatingZest). Avoid free VoIP and public numbers. Pick a supported country code, keep access to your number!
