Does a virtual number work for Lyft?

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

How many credits is a Lyft number?

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

What if the Lyft 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 Lyft 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 Lyft see my real number?

No. Lyft 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 Lyft asks for a phone number

Lyft 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 Lyft 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 Lyft settings after setup.
Following the Lyft rules is up to you; the number only keeps your own number private.
