Why Bolt asks for a phone number

Bolt uses the number to connect you with drivers or couriers and to secure the account. For a short-term need, a one-time number can be enough.

Good to know

A number is for one verification. If Bolt 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 Bolt settings after setup.
Following the Bolt rules is up to you; the number only keeps your own number private.
