Create an Amazon account without a phone number

Can you create an Amazon account without a phone number? Yes. Amazon's official Providing Your Mobile Phone Number help says: "It's optional to add a mobile phone number to your Amazon account." You can create the account with an email address, and Amazon may ask you to verify that email address first (Verify Your Email for a New Account). An account linked to a mobile phone number instead of an email address is a separate option, which Amazon says can only be created in the Amazon Shopping app.

This guide is for creating your own account without handing over your personal number. It does not cover bulk sign-ups, getting around a ban, or getting into someone else's account.

What Amazon official help says

Checked 12 November 2026, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, on amazon.com:

• Providing Your Mobile Phone Number: adding a mobile phone number is optional; it "enables quick sign-ins, easy password recovery, and security notifications." You can add one later in Your Account > Login and Security.
• Verify Your Email for a New Account: "We may ask that you verify ownership of your email address before creating a new account." Select the link in the verification email; if it does not arrive, check the address you entered and your spam or junk folder. An email address already used on an Amazon account can't be used for a new one.
• What Are Mobile Phone Number Accounts?: these are "Amazon accounts linked to a mobile phone number instead of an email address." They "can only be created through the Amazon Shopping app for iOS and Android smartphones," and you then use that mobile phone number to sign in on all platforms.
• What is Two-Step Verification?: "you can choose to receive the security code by text message or authenticator app."

The official Amazon help articles opened the same day do not publish a ban on VoIP or virtual numbers. Amazon still decides whether a number is accepted, and a code is not guaranteed.

Option 1: sign up with an email address

1. Go to Amazon and choose to create a new Amazon account.
2. Enter your name, an email address you can open, and a password.
3. If Amazon asks you to verify the email address, select the link in the verification email and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Skip adding a mobile number if you don't want one. You can add it later in Your Account > Login and Security.

Use an email address you will keep: it is how you sign in and get back into the account.

If you don't want to use your personal number: use a one-time number to receive the code

If Amazon asks you for a mobile number (for example when you sign up in the Amazon Shopping app) and you would rather not give your own, you can receive the code on a one-time number:

1. Open the Amazon service page and choose a country, for example a USA virtual number for Amazon or a UK virtual number for Amazon.
2. Copy the number from your order in international format and enter it on Amazon's screen.
3. Wait for the SMS on your order and enter the code. SMSPing numbers receive SMS only, so a code sent by phone call will not reach your order.

The price is deducted from your SMSPing balance when you place the order. If no SMS arrives, cancel the order while it is waiting, or let it time out. If an order is canceled or times out with no SMS, the charge is returned to your SMSPing balance, once per order; the balance is not withdrawable.

Prices change. The price shown before you confirm is the one that applies. On 12 November 2026, 20:21 MYT (UTC+8), Amazon numbers were listed in stock for the United States and the United Kingdom. Paying: Top up your account with USDT (TRC20/ERC20/BEP20, recommended); TRX, ETH and BNB are also accepted. Minimum top-up $10.

Risks to know before you use a one-time number

• A mobile phone number account signs in with that number. Amazon says you use the mobile number to sign in on all platforms. If you created the account with a one-time number, add an email address and your own mobile number in Your Account > Login and Security straight away.
• It cannot be used later for account recovery. You will not have access to the number after the order ends. For Two-Step Verification, choose an authenticator app or your own phone number. Do not use the one-time number for Two-Step Verification.
• Amazon may reject the number or not send the SMS. Try another number or country, or sign up with your email address.
• If no code arrives, cancel the order or let it time out; the charge is returned to your SMSPing balance. See Amazon verification code not received for more checks.
