Virtual Number for Steam Verification: Receive SMS Codes Online

How to receive a Steam verification code

1. Sign in to SMSPing and search for the service "Steam".
2. Choose a country and look at each carrier's price and stock.
3. Pick a carrier with stock, confirm the price and place the order to get your number.
4. Enter the number in Steam where it asks for your phone number and request the code (Steam → profile name → Account Details → Contact Info → Add a phone number → enter the number in international format with '+' and country code → wait for the SMS (if it arrives)).
5. Go back to your SMSPing order page, wait for the SMS (if it arrives), then copy the code into Steam.

Each number is ordered for the selected service only, so don't use a Steam order as a general-purpose number for other apps.

Countries and prices for Steam numbers

Snapshot as of 2026-11-07 00:17 UTC from the SMSPing price list (updated every 6 hours): 143 countries in stock. Prices are confirmed when you order. The table lists only countries where at least one carrier has stock; the price shown is the lowest price among carriers with stock, in USD.

Prices can change after you look at them and are re-checked when you order. If the price has changed, refresh and confirm the new quote.

Before you use a virtual number for Steam

• Steam's rules come first. Which numbers Steam accepts and how it sends the code are set by Steam. See Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator in Steam Support (sections on adding a phone number, phone numbers that don't work, and VoIP); this page doesn't judge Steam's verification process.
• How Steam describes the flow. Steam Support says you add a phone from Account Details → Contact Info → Add a phone number (or Manage your phone number if one is already on the account), enter the number, and Steam sends an SMS with a confirmation code. Enter the number in international format (with '+' and your country code first); you can also pick the country from the menu under the number field. Valve does not allow certain phone numbers, such as VoIP numbers and numbers that cannot receive text messages. Steam Support also says new VoIP numbers are not accepted because they do not meet Steam's security requirements, and that some cellular plans use VoIP technology and are unsupported—Steam will tell you when it considers a number VoIP. Only one phone number can be associated with a Steam account at a time. Do not share the confirmation code with anyone.
• Numbers are temporary. A number only receives SMS while the order is active, so it isn't suitable as your long-term Steam account phone. Later password resets, authenticator transfers, or phone changes may text the same number again, and you won't have it. Prefer a lasting number you control if you plan to keep the Steam account.
• No SMS? The charge goes back to your balance. While waiting you can request a cancellation. 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. Orders that already received an SMS can't be canceled. See pricing and balance rules.
• Payment. Top up your account with USDT (TRC20/ERC20/BEP20, recommended); TRX, ETH and BNB are also accepted. Minimum top-up $10.

Steam verification code not received?

First check that the number and country code you entered in Steam are correct (international format with '+'), and that you actually requested the code. Steam Support also lists checks such as whether your wireless account can receive SMS (messages may come from a 6-digit short code), waiting a few minutes to an hour if too many SMS were sent recently, and whether your phone inbox is full; in some countries Steam may deliver via Telegram when that number has an active Telegram account. If nothing arrives before the order expires, cancel it or let it time out; once the charge is back in your balance, try another country or carrier—or use another number you control. If Steam shows an error message (for example that the number is VoIP or not usable), follow what it says. More troubleshooting steps are in what to do if your verification code doesn't arrive.
