Does a virtual number work for AliExpress?

In most countries, yes. The success rate on the order screen shows where AliExpress codes arrived over the last hour; picking a country with a high rate is the surest way.

How many credits is a AliExpress number?

It depends on the country; right now it starts at 15 credits. You see the exact price before paying.

What if the AliExpress code never arrives?

If no SMS comes in time, the order closes and your credits go back to your balance automatically.

Can I sign in to AliExpress with the same number later?

No. The number is released after the order; add your own number or email to the account for future sign-ins.

Does AliExpress see my real number?

No. AliExpress only sees the number we give you; yours is never entered anywhere.

Do I need to install an app?

No. The number and the code both show up in your browser, in the TempSMSCode panel.

Why AliExpress asks for a phone number

Store apps ask for a number for loyalty programmes and discount texts. Open the account with a one-time number and the marketing stays off your personal line.

Good to know

A number is for one verification. If AliExpress sends a new code to it later, you will not see it.
If you will use the account for a long time, add your own contact details in the AliExpress settings after setup.
Following the AliExpress rules is up to you; the number only keeps your own number private.
