What is Poshmark?

Poshmark is an app-based marketplace established in 2011 for buying and selling fashion items such as clothing, shoes, accessories, and even electronics. It feels like a more social version of eBay or Depop, as it primarily focuses on second-hand items people sell from their own wardrobes. Because Poshmark is US and Canada first, most users want a US phone number for the Poshmark phone verification step at signup.

Why Poshmark asks for a phone number

Poshmark requires a phone number incase you need to recover your account and to cut down on fake accounts and bots. It also states on its help page that it does not accept VoIP numbers, so a cheap internet number such as Google Voice or TextNow won't work. You need a real number from a mobile carrier, which is exactly what our numbers are.

Why your Poshmark verification code might not be sending

• You're using a VoIP number, which Poshmark doesn't allow.
• You've created several Poshmark accounts and are reusing the same IP address and browser session.
• Your IP address country doesn't match the phone number's country.
• The code ended up in the spam folder of your messaging app.
• You've resent the code too many times.

How to fix Poshmark SMS code not sending

• Use a non-VoIP number from SMSPool instead of a VoIP number.
• Check you've entered the number correctly.
• Make sure the number's country matches your IP address country.
• Check your spam or filtered messages folder.
• Avoid spamming the resend button.
• If it keeps failing, try another number.

How to verify Poshmark with a temporary number

A temporary number keeps your personal phone number off the account, which is the main reason to use one. You get the code, verify, and your real number is never used on Poshmark.

Here is how to get verified in a few minutes:

Step 1: Create an SMSPool account. Go to SMSPool.net. Registration is fast and does not even require an email address if you would rather not use one.

Step 2: Add funds to your balance. Go to the Deposit page and add credit to your account. Poshmark verifications are low cost, so we would suggest adding $3 to get started.

Step 3: Order a number for Poshmark. Go to the Order page. Choose a US phone number, then search for and select Poshmark as the service. If you want to test it first without spending anything, the free Poshmark SMS page lets you do that.

Step 4: Complete the purchase. Click the Quick Purchase button. SMSPool will generate a real, non-VoIP number for you within seconds.

Step 5: Verify your Poshmark account. Enter the number on the Poshmark signup screen and request the code. When it lands in your SMSPool dashboard, copy it and enter it on Poshmark before it expires.

Temporary number or a rental for Poshmark?

A temporary number is fine for a disposable Poshmark account. The issue is that Poshmark can sometimes ask you to verify the phone number again for security changes or account recovery. Our Temporary numbers last around 3 to 5 days at most, and that's only for the USA Foxtrot. If you'd rather be on the safe side, our long-term rentals last as long as you keep renewing them.
