Alright, guys, let’s talk about how I managed to get around that pesky phone number verification on Claude. I’m not gonna lie, it was a bit of a pain, but I figured it out, and I’m here to share the wealth.
My Little Adventure
So, there I was, super excited to try out Claude. I went through the initial setup, created my account, filled everything in… and then, bam! I hit the phone number verification wall. I really wanted to be able to keep my testing process separate from my personal number, though, so I decided to find a workaround.
First, I tried to make all things done by myself, I try to sign up and sign in claude, and I want to find out whether I can skip this step, but finally, I failed. I start to think about using a temporary phone number.
The Solution: Temporary Phone Numbers
After some digging around, I decided to go with a temporary phone number. I try to search on google to find any other solution. I found some website providing the temporary phone number. Cool!
The process was pretty straightforward:
- Find a temporary phone number: I google a reliable temporary SMS service, and choose one.
- Signing Up: Back to the Claude, and enter this phone number when asked.
- Grab That Code: Then I head back to my temporary number and wait a message to get the verification code.
- Enter and Done: Finally, I got the code, copied and pasted it into Claude’s verification box. And… boom! I was in.
Wrapping Up
And that’s pretty much it! It added a few extra steps, but it definitely worked. Now I can use Claude, and my personal number stays private. Hope this helps you guys out!
