How to Receive Verification Codes for Facebook, Instagram and TikTok
The same approach works for most social apps: buy a number for the right service, request the code once and enter it quickly.

Facebook, Instagram and TikTok all use SMS codes for sign-up or security checks. The process is almost identical for each, so once you have done it for one you can do it for all three.
The general method
- Open Virtual Numbers in your Sabiverify dashboard.
- Choose a country and search for the app you are verifying.
- Buy the number and copy it with the country code.
- Enter it in the app and request the SMS code once.
- Copy the code from your dashboard and submit it before the timer ends.
App-specific notes
- Facebook: new accounts created from an unfamiliar device or connection may face extra checks. Use a normal browser, a stable connection and give your profile real details.
- Instagram: codes are usually quick. If you are asked to confirm by email instead, use the email option rather than forcing SMS.
- TikTok: TikTok sometimes asks for verification again after a period of inactivity. If the account matters to you, add an email address as a backup.
Protecting the account afterwards
- Add a recovery email you control.
- Turn on two-factor authentication using an authenticator app instead of SMS.
- Save your backup codes somewhere safe.
A note on rules
Use these numbers to protect your privacy, not to run fake or abusive accounts. Platforms ban accounts that break their rules, whatever number was used to sign up.
