## Confirming a phone on Instagram, step by step

Instagram asks for a phone when you sign up with one, when you add it to an account, and sometimes after a login from a new device.

1. **Choose phone sign-up or add a phone.** On sign-up pick "Phone", or add one later in Accounts Center › Personal details › Contact info.
2. **Enter the number with its country.** Pick the country code, then paste the number exactly as your SMS Falcon account shows it.
3. **Wait for the confirmation code.** Instagram sends it by text message from Meta. Keep the screen open.
4. **Type the code.** Enter it on Instagram's screen to finish. The number is now confirmed on the account.

## When Instagram's code won't arrive

When the Instagram code doesn't show up, it's usually one of these.

- **No code after a few minutes.** Wait for the resend option, then request once. If it still doesn't arrive, pick another country; the charge for a code that never arrives is refunded automatically.
- **"Please wait a few minutes before you try again".** Instagram slows down repeated requests. Let the timer run out before you ask again.
- **The number belongs to another account.** One phone can only be confirmed on one Instagram account at a time. Use a fresh number.
- **The number isn't accepted.** Instagram refuses some ranges. Another country from the list usually works.

## A separate number for a shop or brand profile

A **second Instagram account** for a shop, a brand or a client keeps business messages away from your personal profile. Instagram links each phone to one account, so the business profile needs **its own number**.

Meta's Accounts Center can hold both profiles, and switching between them stays one tap away. Only the verification number is different.

## What people confirm on Instagram with our numbers

- **A shop or brand profile.** Run the business account on its own number, apart from your personal one.
- **Client accounts.** Agencies set up client profiles without using a team member's phone.
- **Keep your personal number private.** Followers and strangers never get the number you use every day.

## Which numbers Instagram accepts

Instagram sits in the middle: most mobile ranges pass, a few don't, and which ones depends on the country. Start with Vietnam, the cheapest right now. Every number we sell comes from a mobile operator range, and Instagram still runs its own check on each one.

If one country doesn't work, the next one in the list usually will, and a number that never receives its code costs nothing. [How OTP numbers work](https://smsfalcon.com/otp-number).

## Instagram phone verification FAQ

### Why does Instagram ask for my phone number?

To confirm a new account that signs up with a phone, to add a phone to an account, or to check a login from a new device.

### How does Instagram send the code?

By SMS. It shows up in your SMS Falcon account, ready to type on Instagram's screen.

### Can I use the same number on two Instagram accounts?

Not at the same time. Each account needs its own confirmed number.

### Does Instagram accept virtual numbers?

Meta checks Instagram numbers by country, so a range that fails in one country may pass in the next. Work down the price list; you're not charged for a code that never arrives.

### Will this number get past an Instagram security review?

No. The number only covers the SMS code. If Instagram asks for a selfie video or an ID check, that's a separate step on Instagram's side.

### What's the cheapest country for Instagram?

Right now it's Vietnam, at $0.07. Prices are set country by country, and the list on this page always starts with the cheapest.

### Do I pay if Instagram never sends the code?

No. A number that expires without receiving the Instagram code is refunded to your balance on its own, and you can pick another country right away.

### How often does the Instagram code arrive?

We publish one figure for every app: 90–98% delivery, from our own delivery study. It's the same for Instagram in all 32 countries.
