Fiverr SMS Verification

Fiverr asks for SMS verification for sellers to help prevent bots, scammers, and other unwanted users, and you cannot bypass it. Luckily SMSPool is the solution, we offer both long-term rentals and temporary numbers for Fiverr that are non-VoIP, so they're not blocked like most virtual numbers. This guide covers what Fiverr is, why your code might not arrive, how to fix it, and how to verify with one of our numbers.

What is Fiverr?

Fiverr is a freelance marketplace platform that connects both buyers and sellers. Commonly sold services include website design, graphic design, copywriting, programming, marketing, and more. Phone verification usually triggers when you wish to become a seller on Fiverr, withdraw funds, or for other additional security checks, this is where SMSPool comes in handy.

Why Fiverr asks for a phone number

Fiverr requires a phone number as an anti fraud measure to protect against bots, scammers and other unwanted users. Fiverr does not allow VoIP numbers as they are cheap to obtain which allows for abuse, we use non-VoIP phone numbers which use real mobile carriers so you can register. Please note that Fiverr only allows one phone number per account.

Why your Fiverr verification code might not be sending

  • You're using a VoIP phone number rather than a non-VoIP phone number. These are blocked by Fiverr.
  • The phone number is already tied to an existing Fiverr account.
  • You have sent the code to the same phone number too many times.
  • The wrong number format has been entered.
  • You're reusing the same browser session.
  • The code expired. Fiverr codes only last around 10 minutes.
  • You are verifying on a mobile device instead of a desktop.

How to verify Fiverr with a temporary number

Here is how to get verified in a few minutes:

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

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

Step 3: Order a number for Fiverr. Navigate to the Order page. Choose your country, then search for and select Fiverr as the service. If you want to test the platform before spending anything, the free SMS verification page lets you do that.

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

Step 5: Verify your Fiverr account. Copy the number and enter it into Fiverr's verification prompt. Wait for the SMS code to appear in your SMSPool dashboard, then enter it on Fiverr before it expires.

How to fix Fiverr SMS code not sending

If Fiverr isn't sending the code, work through these:

  • Make sure the number is non-VoIP. Google Voice, TextNow and similar are blocked.
  • Use a fresh browser session, or an incognito window.
  • Use a residential IP that matches the number's country. Some VPN and datacentre IPs get blocked.
  • Check the number is entered correctly, digits only, no spaces.
  • Verify on desktop, not mobile.

Long-term rental or temporary number for Fiverr?

Not sure whether to rent a number or grab a temporary one? It depends on what you're doing on Fiverr. For buyers, a temporary number is more than enough, since you're unlikely to need another OTP. For sellers, you're better off with one of our long-term rentals so you keep access to the number and can receive OTP codes whenever you need them.

FAQ

How long does Fiverr verification take? Fiverr SMS codes usually arrive within 30 seconds. The whole SMSPool signup and deposit process takes around 5 minutes.

Can I use one number for multiple Fiverr accounts? No. Fiverr is strict and only allows one phone number per account.

Does Fiverr send codes by WhatsApp? Sometimes, depending on your region. When it does, Fiverr states this clearly on the verification page. You can then order a WhatsApp number from SMSPool, create the WhatsApp account, and verify Fiverr with that.

Does Fiverr accept VoIP numbers? No. Fiverr blocks VoIP numbers, including Google Voice, TextNow and similar services, since they all use VoIP.

Is it safe to use a temporary number for Fiverr? For a temporary number, yes, though we always recommend enabling 2FA. A long-term rental is also safe as long as you enable 2FA and keep renewing the rental so it doesn't expire.

Can I use a virtual number for Fiverr? Yes, as long as it's non-VoIP. Fiverr blocks VoIP numbers, but our numbers use real mobile carriers, so they work fine for verification.

Why won't the Fiverr Verify button work? You're most likely on a mobile device. Fiverr only lets you verify on a laptop or desktop, so the button greys out on phones. Switch to a computer, and if it still won't load, clear your cache or use an incognito window.

How many times can I request a Fiverr code? Up to 5 times in a 24 hour period. If you hit that limit, you'll need to wait 24 hours before requesting again, so avoid spamming the resend button.

Do I need to verify my phone to buy on Fiverr, or just to sell? Verification is mainly required for sellers and for withdrawing funds, though Fiverr may also ask buyers during signup or extra security checks.

What countries does Fiverr verification support? Fiverr supports numbers from most countries and will send the code by SMS or WhatsApp depending on your region. Just pick a country we offer that Fiverr accepts.

Can I change my Fiverr phone number later? Yes, you can update it in your account security settings. Keep in mind Fiverr applies a 48 hour hold on withdrawals after you change your number.
