Create a Snapchat account without a phone number

Can you create a Snapchat account without a phone number? Yes. Snapchat's official How to Create a Snapchat Account help lists entering and verifying your phone number as a step, and adds: "You can also tap 'sign up with email instead' if you don't want to use your phone number." You do need at least one verified contact: Snapchat's I can't verify my email or mobile number help says you need access to at least one verified contact method (email or mobile number), and that this is how you reset your password if you forget it.

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 Snapchat official help says

Checked 12 November 2026, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur:

• How to Create a Snapchat Account: open the app and tap Sign Up, enter your name and birthday, create a username and a password, then enter your phone number and verify it, or tap sign up with email instead.
• I can't verify my email or mobile number: "Only one email and mobile number can be verified per Snapchat account. The same contact information cannot be shared across multiple accounts."
• What steps can I take to help protect my security and safety on Snapchat?: Snapchat recommends that you avoid signing up with, using or adding a temporary or disposable phone number, because "the phone number could be recycled (meaning re-assigned to someone else) at a later time and result in a compromise of your account." It recommends keeping your email and mobile number verified and adding a passkey.
• How do I change or verify my mobile number on Snapchat?: the code comes by text message, or by a mobile call if you tap Call me instead. You can't completely remove a verified phone number, but you can change it to a different number.

Snapchat's advice on temporary numbers is a recommendation, not a published ban, and it applies to one-time numbers like the ones SMSPing sells. Snapchat still decides whether a number is accepted, and a code is not guaranteed. Signing up with your email address is the option that follows Snapchat's advice.

Option 1: sign up with an email address

1. Open the Snapchat app and tap Sign Up.
2. Enter your name and birthday, then create a username and a password.
3. On the phone number screen, tap sign up with email instead.
4. Enter an email address you can open and verify it.

Use an email address you will keep: it is your way to reset your password, and Snapchat allows each email to be verified on one account only.

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

If Snapchat asks you to verify a phone number and you would rather not give your own, a one-time number can receive the sign-up code. Because of Snapchat's advice above, use it for that code only:

1. Open the Snapchat service page and choose a country, for example a USA virtual number for Snapchat.
2. Copy the number from your order in international format and enter it in Snapchat.
3. Wait for the SMS on your order and enter the code. SMSPing numbers receive SMS only, so Call me instead will not reach your order.
4. Right after sign-up, open Settings, verify an email address you will keep, change the mobile number to your own number, and add a passkey.

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), Snapchat numbers were listed in stock for the United States. 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

• The number can be given to someone else later. Snapchat warns that a recycled number can lead to your account being compromised. Do not keep a one-time number on your account: change it to your own number and add an email address and a passkey as soon as you have signed up.
• It cannot be used later for account recovery. You will not have access to the number after the order ends, so your verified email address is how you reset your password.
• Snapchat may reject the number or not send the SMS. Try another number, or sign up with your email address. If Snapchat shows "Too many requests", wait before trying again, as its help advises.
• If no code arrives, cancel the order or let it time out; the charge is returned to your SMSPing balance. See Snapchat verification code not received for more checks.
