Does a virtual number work for Nintendo?

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

How many credits is a Nintendo number?

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

What if the Nintendo 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 Nintendo 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 Nintendo see my real number?

No. Nintendo 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 Nintendo asks for a phone number

Nintendo mostly verifies numbers to limit free trials and account sharing. A separate number keeps your personal one off promotional lists.

Good to know

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