When a Signal activation is the right buy
Signal ties an account to a phone number, so an activation is a way to join Signal for one registration without giving out your personal number.
Enter the activation number at sign-up and read the code we deliver. It covers the single code Signal needs to create the account.
Does it work with Signal?
Often works
Signal accepts many one-time numbers, though it turns down some VoIP ranges. When an activation does not receive the code, it is refunded and you can try again.
How to get your Signal code
- 1
Top up with crypto
Add a balance with any of nine coins. No card and no ID to buy.
- 2
Pick the country
Choose Signal and the country the number should be from. You see the per-code price first.
- 3
Read the code
The verification SMS appears in your dashboard within minutes. Enter it and you are done.
One Signal code starts at $0.40, paid in crypto, and if no code arrives the charge is refunded to your balance automatically. A dedicated number you keep is $2.99 a month if you need one instead.
One code, or a number you keep?
Honest advice
Signal occasionally re-verifies, and it needs the number reachable to do so. If you want the account to survive a re-check, a monthly number you keep is the safer bet than a single code.
