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

How many credits is a GitLab number?

It depends on the country; right now it starts at 16 credits. You see the exact price before paying.

What if the GitLab 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 GitLab 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 GitLab see my real number?

No. GitLab 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 GitLab asks for a phone number

Business tools verify team accounts by phone. For a trial account or a separate project, a one-time number keeps your work line apart from personal sign-ups.

Good to know

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