Can I get an Amazon code on a UK number?
Yes. PVA Codes has UK numbers that receive Amazon verification codes, from $0.16 per delivered code. The number is assigned to you alone, the code shows on screen as soon as it lands, and nothing is charged unless it does.
Why Amazon needs a UK number
Amazon.co.uk sends its verification SMS to UK mobile numbers, so a US number will not complete a UK account check.
Amazon.co.uk is a separate marketplace account from amazon.com, with its own phone number on file. UK mobile numbers begin 07 domestically, which becomes +44 7 internationally. Keeping that leading 0 after the country code is the most common reason a valid UK number never receives its code.
How Amazon uses your number
Amazon sends a one-time password by SMS when you create an account, sign in from a device it does not recognise, or turn on two-step verification. Each marketplace, such as amazon.com or amazon.co.uk, holds its own account and phone number.
Amazon numbers are currently listed for 194 countries on PVA Codes, with 18 separate UK options live for this combination right now. Stock and pricing move with demand, so the figures on this page are read from the live catalogue each time it loads rather than being typed in by hand.
What people use it for

Amazon tips that save a second attempt
Move two-step verification to an authenticator app
Once you are signed in, add an authenticator app under Login & security. Later sign-ins then stop depending on a number you no longer hold.
Keep an email address on the account
Amazon can also send sign-in codes by email, which is the fallback when SMS is not available.
Use the code quickly
Amazon one-time passwords expire within minutes. Enter the code as soon as it appears rather than switching away.
What a UK number looks like
10 digits after the country code (the leading 0 is dropped internationally)
UK mobile numbers begin 07 nationally, written +44 7... in international format. Only 07 ranges receive SMS.
Writing the number as +44 07..., keeping the trunk 0 after the country code, is the usual reason a correctly-owned UK number fails to receive a code.
When an Amazon code does not arrive
An Amazon code that never lands on a UK number almost always comes down to one of the causes below. None of them cost you anything, since an order that receives no code is never charged. Knowing which one you have hit simply saves repeating the same attempt.
The number was entered as +44 07...
The trunk 0 is dropped in international format. +44 07 produces a number that cannot be reached, even though it looks correct.
An amazon.com verification did not carry over
Each Amazon marketplace holds its own account and its own number. Verifying one does nothing for the other.
The number was entered in the wrong format
Writing the number as +44 07..., keeping the trunk 0 after the country code, is the usual reason a correctly-owned UK number fails to receive a code. The number is shown on your order page in the form +44 7XXX XXXXXX. Copy it exactly as displayed.
The number is not a UK mobile range Amazon accepts
UK mobile numbers begin 07 nationally, written +44 7... in international format. Only 07 ranges receive SMS. Services also filter ranges they classify as virtual, which happens at the gateway rather than on the form, so a number can be accepted on screen and still receive nothing.
Compared with the alternatives
| Option | Cost to get one code | Needs a local SIM or ID | Pay if no code arrives |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVA Codes (this page) | from $0.16 | No | No |
| Prepaid SIM bought in UK | Price of the SIM plus credit | Yes, usually in person | Yes |
| VoIP or app number (+44 range) | Often free or a monthly fee | No | Yes, and often refused outright |
| Public shared inbox | Free | No | No, but anyone can read the code and the number is usually already registered |
If a free public inbox suits your purpose, we run one too: see free SMS numbers. It is free and shared with everyone, which is exactly why it will not work for Amazon.
Questions about Amazon verification
How much does an Amazon number for the UK cost?
