Steam Verification Code: Virtual Number for OTP
Use a virtual number to receive the Steam SMS verification code online, without giving Steam your personal phone number. Pick a country below; the number is reserved for your account for 20 minutes and the code appears on your screen. Steam uses a phone number to protect your account, for account recovery and for Steam Guard features.
Steps to get a Steam code online
- Step 1. Create your SNSCodes account: Make an account with one token in a few seconds and add credit from $30.
- Step 2. Choose Steam and a country: Open the buy screen, pick Steam and one of the countries listed above with its price.
- Step 3. Copy the number into Steam: Add the number in Steam under Account details, then Add a phone number.
- Step 4. Read the code on screen: Steam sends a short verification code by SMS. Enter it on the Steam page to confirm the number.
- Step 5. Finish or cancel: Mark the number done once you are in. If no code arrives in 20 minutes, the full price returns to your credit.
Why a separate number for Steam
Players and developers often keep a second Steam account for testing, for a shared family PC or for a separate game library. A separate number keeps its security apart from your main account.
Pay only for a code that arrives
The price is taken when you buy the number and returned in full when Steam does not deliver a code within 20 minutes. There is nothing to claim by hand.
Codes by API
Developers can request Steam numbers with the service code steam through the SNSCodes API and read the code from the same call. API documentation
Steam code questions
How much is a Steam verification number?
A Steam code number costs $3.00 for United States, $1.62 for United Kingdom, $2.07 for Australia. You pay once per code from your account credit.
How fast does the Steam code arrive?
Most Steam codes arrive within a minute after the app sends them. The number stays open for 20 minutes, so there is time to request the SMS again from Steam if needed.
What if Steam does not send a code?
If no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, the number closes and the full price goes back to your credit automatically. You can also cancel earlier yourself.
Can I get a second Steam code on the same number?
Yes. While the 20 minute window is open, press Get another code and the next SMS appears on the same screen.
Should I use a private number for Steam instead?
If you will need to log in to Steam again later, a private number keeps working for months. Private numbers start at $35.99 for the whole period.
