1. DatingZest’s Tinderophone: exclusively designed for Tinder.
Whether you’ve been banned or want your privacy protected on Tinder, you’ll need a new number.
Many services aren’t aware of Tinder’s policies regarding phone numbers. This is why using a fake phone number service built for Tinder is the safest bet!
Tinderophone is a burner number provider, designed exclusively for Tinder users having trouble creating accounts with their personal phone numbers.
Designed to adapt to Tinder’s policies, Tinderophone numbers are brand new, ensuring the users have their phone number verified for their new Tinder account.
| Pros | Cons |
| You’re not required to install an app or register to have access to your phone number. | It’s a one-time use number. |
| You can make the purchase, and receive the Tinder SMS verification on the web within seconds. | The prices vary between $9.95 – $17.95. |
| Customer support will be available to you via live chat or email, whichever you prefer. | |
| The reviews are the best ones you’ll find regarding burner number services for Tinder. |
2. Burner: fast and easy to use.
Even though this service isn’t exclusively designed for Tinder, Burner can work for Tinder.
When using it for this purpose – say a replacement for Google Voice – we’ve got to be vigilant.
The number of burner number services out there is vast. However, Burner is yet another service that has somewhat good reviews.
| Pros | Cons |
| It can work for Tinder if you’re lucky to stumble upon a number that hasn’t been used on Tinder. | Has over 5M downloads on Google Play, which can make it less effective for Tinder considering the overuse of numbers. |
| Relatively good reviews: On Google Play (4.1 stars average from 54.9K reviews) and Apple Store (4.7 stars average from 65.4K reviews). | Reviews on Trustpilot don’t seem to portray this as a trustworthy service. The number of reviews is small, none of them are good. |
| It’s fairly cheap: The prices vary between $4.99/mo – $9.99/mo. |
3. Textnow: some of the best reviews.
Different from the rest, this is a text app. Texting apps or sites are apps or sites that provide you with a temporary number that you can use to message.
The good news keeps going because Textnow can work for Tinder.
The app works smoothly, which is a huge pro considering how most texting apps work.
It’s a good opportunity for those who can’t afford a second phone number. It’s completely free, and you can use it for other purposes besides Tinder.
| Pros | Cons |
| Most services in this texting app are free. | The numbers may not be unique, which can represent difficulties when it comes to passing the phone verification process on Tinder. |
| It’s great for those who plan to keep the number for more than just a part of a verification process for Tinder. | Like most free-of-charge apps and sites, this one too, is exposed to the risk of repetition of numbers. |
| Has amazing reviews on Google Play (4.5 stars average from 1.4M reviews) and App Store (4.8 stars average from 700K reviews). |
4. Textfree: for those looking for something free.
The app is free, and the numbers you get from the app are free as well. You get to choose what prefix of the number you get which can be unique.
Once you get your number, you can keep it or simply discard it once you’ve reached the goal for your Tinder account.
| Pros | Cons |
| There is a chance to stumble upon a unique number that works for Tinder. | For more advanced services you’re required to pay starting from $9.99. |
| You can use many services for free. | Has over 10M downloads on Google Play making the phone numbers prone to overuse. There’s a chance to get a phone number already used on Tinder. |
| The reviews are very good on Google Play (4.4 stars average from 510K reviews) and App Store (4.7 stars average from 269.5K reviews). | You must download the app to have access to your phone number. |
5. Talkatone: your plan B for a free option.
Their services that come with the burner phone are free of charge which makes it widely used.
It’s pretty convenient since it is free, and you can easily discard the number once you’re done with it.
Their services being widely used is a positive thing, however, it still represents a little bit of risk for the number repetition which is not favorable for a new Tinder account.
| Pros | Cons |
| You can use it for free for a lot of purposes. | Works for the US and Canada mostly. |
| The app is fast and bug-free. | Has over 10M downloads on Google Play making it prone to overuse of numbers. |

6. Dingtone: your last resort.
Dingtone is a texting and calling app that has the potential to work for Tinder.
This is especially convenient if you can’t afford the rest of the services. You’ll need good Wifi, and you’ll be good to go.
| Pros | Cons |
| Calls and texts are for free. | Since it’s free it can be overused by people for verification codes on Tinder. |
| The app claims to be bug-free, which can be super convenient. | You must pay to keep your phone number. |
| Has relatively good reviews on Google Play (4.1 stars from 660K reviews) and App Store (4.6 stars from 30K reviews). |
Do not use Google Voice for Tinder! Here’s why!
Why shouldn't you use Google Voice for Tinder verification?
Google Voice numbers, which are recycled and can be reused after 45 days, are often overused for Tinder sign-ups because these are public numbers and easily accessible, and any number that is easily accessible won't work with Tinder.
This leads to automatic bans even before successful registration. Furthermore, if banned, Tinder also bans your device, making it harder to rejoin the app.
So, considering the risks, it's not worth using a Google Voice number for this purpose.
Famous phone number apps that work for other things but not for Tinder verification!
During the testing time, we encountered apps and products that could not work for Tinder verification.
These apps have been tested, and none of them have been successful during our testing time.
They can, however, be very useful for other things, but not for a Tinder verification. They can be risky options to try. We’re talking about:
Now, concluding…
A unique and unused number is the key for a fake number to be successful for Tinder.
A free service is likely to be overused, hence resulting in an automatic ban on Tinder because it violates its community guidelines.
Take your time, do your research, and read on forums (e.g. Reddit and Quora) before you decide to give a try to a product or service.
Avoid Google Voice! It’s effective for everything else but a Tinder verification process!
Best of luck,

google number no longer works I spent two days trying to figure out why Icouldnt log in.
Hushed no longer works either
This article is poorly researched. Tinder doesn’t allow numbers from IP companies. I use Hushed and Google phone and my many attempts failed. Yes, I changed my IP.
Hi Eric,
That’s not related to IP, if you got many attempts failed that means it’s a virtual number. Because Virtual numbers aren’t accepted by apps and can be detected easily.
But if the app gives real numbers, then you will be OK. Some of the apps give real numbers we didn’t test them, but we did test a few of them and they were good.
Thank you.
This is a great guide! I’ve been struggling with trying to find a Tinder verification number that actually works, and this guide has helped me a lot.
