Amazon is one of the most difficult platforms for multi-accounting due to strict verification and fraud prevention systems. SMS verification on Amazon is a mandatory step that confirms the connection between an account and a real phone number. In this article, we'll review all options for completing SMS verification on Amazon, including using virtual numbers.

When Amazon Requires SMS Verification

Amazon doesn't require SMS verification at the registration stage, but requests it in the following cases:

  • When changing a password or recovering account access
  • When creating a new payment method (especially a bank card)
  • When attempting to list items on Amazon Seller Central
  • When the security system triggers (unusual activity, suspicious login)
  • When adding a new delivery address (especially in another country)
  • For business account verification (Amazon Business)

Additionally, new accounts in Amazon Seller Central always require phone number verification on the seller settings page.

Method 1: SMS Verification with Virtual Number (Basic Method)

This is the simplest method for most cases. Instead of your real number, a virtual number is used that receives SMS codes.

Process:

  1. On the Amazon verification page, enter a virtual number from turbon.rent
  2. Amazon will send an SMS code to this number
  3. Wait for the SMS in turbon.rent personal account
  4. Copy the code and enter it on the Amazon page
  5. Verification is complete

Limitations of this method: Amazon may request re-verification if it sees a new or suspicious number. Solution — wait 1-2 days after account creation before attempting verification.

Method 2: Verification with Numbers from Different Countries (for Seller Central)

If you're a seller on Amazon, the platform requires verification using a number from the country where you conduct sales. For example, Amazon.com requires a US number, Amazon.de requires a German number.

How this works:

  • Amazon Seller Central stores the phone number in the seller profile
  • This number must match the country of business registration
  • SMS verification checks this specific number
  • Use virtual numbers from the required country when registering as a seller

Example: if you're creating an account for US sales (amazon.com), get a US virtual number (+1). For Europe (amazon.de) — a German number (+49).

Method 3: Voice SMS Instead of Text SMS

Amazon sometimes sends the verification code via voice call instead of SMS. This happens when:

  • SMS code failed to deliver (network error or temporary failure)
  • Number is registered as mobile but doesn't support SMS
  • Amazon suspects fraud and requires additional verification

Some virtual number services support receiving voice codes — this is an important factor when choosing a service. Most numbers on turbon.rent work with both types.

Step-by-Step Amazon Seller Verification Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Virtual Number

Select the country where you'll sell (USA, UK, Germany, etc.) and get a virtual number from turbon.rent. Make sure the number is active and ready to receive SMS.

Step 2: Enter Number in Amazon Seller Central

Log in to Amazon Seller Central, open menu → Account Settings → Contact Information. In the "Primary Phone Number" section, enter the full number (with country code, for example +1 for the USA).

Step 3: Send Code

After entering the number, Amazon will offer to send a verification code. Click "Send Code". A message will appear on screen: "We'll send a code to your number". Wait for the SMS on the virtual number — usually this takes 30-60 seconds.

Step 4: Get Code from SMS

Open turbon.rent personal account, go to the active number page. All incoming SMS will be displayed there. Find a message from Amazon — the code is usually 4-6 digits.

Step 5: Enter Code in Amazon

On the Amazon page in the code input field, paste the received code. Click "Verify". If the code is correct, a success message will appear.

Step 6: Completion

Your number is now verified in Amazon. The platform may request re-verification in the future, but the first check is most important.

Common Problems During Verification

Problem 1: "Number is not suitable for your country"

Amazon checks the country code and compares it with the country specified in your profile. If there's a mismatch — verification won't pass. Solution: make sure the country code in the number matches your sales country. For USA enter +1xxx, for UK +44xxx, etc.

Problem 2: SMS Doesn't Arrive Within 5+ Minutes

Sometimes Amazon sends SMS slower. Do this:

  • Wait 3-5 minutes
  • If SMS doesn't arrive, reload the Amazon page and send code again
  • Check that the number on turbon.rent is still active (hasn't expired)
  • If the number expired, get a new one and repeat the process

Problem 3: "Invalid Code" or "Code Expired"

Amazon codes usually work for 10-15 minutes. If you waited too long — the code may become invalid. Request a new code and try again faster.

Problem 4: Amazon Requests Re-verification After a Day

This is a sign that Amazon suspects fraud. The platform may request verification multiple times over a week. Make sure that:

  • You use the same IP address (or at least one country)
  • Account behavior is natural (don't create thousands of products per day)
  • Payment method and delivery address match the country of the number

Infrastructure for Mass Amazon Verification

If you're creating multiple Amazon accounts (for example, for dropshipping in different countries), you'll need:

  • Virtual numbers from different countries (each account — own number)
  • Mobile proxies (different IP for each profile)
  • Anti-detect browser (isolated profiles with different fingerprints)
  • Different email addresses (don't use one email for multiple accounts under any circumstances)

The combination of these tools allows you to create and verify Amazon accounts without blocks and suspicions.

Summary

SMS verification on Amazon is a step that can't be avoided. Use virtual numbers from turbon.rent that support SMS and voice codes, match the countries of your activity, and always perform verification in the correct order. Remember: Amazon is a platform with one of the most advanced fraud detection systems, so pay attention to verification details, numbers, IP addresses, and account behavior.
