Create a TikTok account without a phone number

Can you create a TikTok account without a phone number? Yes. TikTok's official Creating an account help says to open the app and choose a sign-up method, and it lists phone numbers, email addresses and social media accounts as things that can each be linked to one TikTok account. So you can sign up with an email address instead of a phone number. The same help says your email and phone number must be valid because they are needed for log in and password recovery, and that Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) are not supported sign-up methods.

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 TikTok official help says

Checked 12 November 2026, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur:

• Creating an account: download the TikTok app, open it, and "Choose a sign-up method, then follow the steps to create your account." "Make sure your email and phone number are valid as they're needed for log in and password recovery." "Each phone number, email address, and social media account can only be linked to one TikTok account."
• Email and phone number: TikTok recommends that you always add a mobile phone number to help you get back into your account if you lose access to your email, and says adding a phone number may also let you turn on 2-step verification.
• Account safety: the in-app Security checkup lets you link and verify a phone number and email, turn on 2-step verification and add a passkey. TikTok recommends adding two contact methods.

The official TikTok help articles opened the same day do not publish a ban on VoIP or virtual numbers.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

Option 1: sign up with an email address

1. Download and open the TikTok app.
2. Choose a sign-up method and pick email.
3. Enter an email address you can open and that is not already linked to another TikTok account.
4. Follow the on-screen steps to confirm the email and finish creating the account.

Use an email address you will keep, because TikTok uses it for log in and password recovery.

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

If TikTok asks for a phone number and you would rather not give your own, you can receive the code on a one-time number:

1. Open the TikTok service page and choose a country, for example a USA virtual number for TikTok or a UK virtual number for TikTok.
2. Copy the number from your order in international format and enter it in TikTok.
3. Wait for the SMS on your order and enter the code. SMSPing numbers receive SMS only.

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, 18:21 MYT (UTC+8), TikTok 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

• It cannot be used later for account recovery. TikTok says your contact details are needed for log in and password recovery, and you will not have access to a one-time number after the order ends. After sign-up, open Security checkup, link an email address and a phone number you will keep, and turn on 2-step verification or add a passkey.
• TikTok 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 TikTok verification code not received for more checks.
