Can I get an Amazon code on a US number?
Yes. PVA Codes has US numbers that receive Amazon verification codes, from $0.15 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 US number
Amazon sends an OTP when you register, sign in from a new device, or enable two-step verification, and US accounts expect a US mobile number.
Amazon uses the number for OTP at registration, for two-step verification, and for recovery, and it treats each marketplace as a separate account. A number verified on amazon.com does nothing for amazon.co.uk or any other regional site.
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 26 separate USA 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.

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 US number looks like
10 digits (3-digit area code + 7-digit subscriber number)
The USA shares one numbering plan between mobile and landline, so an area code alone does not tell you whether a number can receive SMS.
This is why so many services reject "US numbers" bought elsewhere: the number is valid and dialable, but sits in a VoIP range that the service filters out. The ranges used here are ones that are currently delivering this service's codes.
When an Amazon code does not arrive
An Amazon code that never lands on a US 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.
Amazon asks for a code on the old number during recovery
Recovery always targets the number already on the account. A new number can create an account but cannot recover one.
Two-step verification will not accept the number
Amazon rejects ranges it classifies as virtual when enrolling in two-step, which is a stricter check than the one at registration. A number that registered fine can still be refused at this step.
The number was entered in the wrong format
This is why so many services reject "US numbers" bought elsewhere: the number is valid and dialable, but sits in a VoIP range that the service filters out. The ranges used here are ones that are currently delivering this service's codes. The number is shown on your order page in the form +1 (XXX) XXX-XXXX. Copy it exactly as displayed.
The number is not a USA mobile range Amazon accepts
The USA shares one numbering plan between mobile and landline, so an area code alone does not tell you whether a number can 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 $0.15 | No | No |
| Prepaid SIM bought in USA | Price of the SIM plus credit | Yes, usually in person | Yes |
| VoIP or app number (+1 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 USA cost?
Right now from $0.15 per delivered code, with live options up to $2.00 depending on stock. There is no subscription: you pay once, when the code arrives, and an attempt that receives nothing costs nothing.
Does this work for Amazon Seller Central?
It delivers the SMS code Amazon sends. Seller accounts often need additional documents, which this does not provide.
Can I use the number again later?
Order per code as needed; there is no subscription.
What if the code is delayed?
No charge unless it is delivered.
Does this work for Seller Central?
The SMS code is delivered the same way. Seller onboarding then requires identity and banking documents, which are entirely separate.
