Frequently Asked Questions — Signal Verification
Why does Signal need a phone number if it's private?
Signal uses the number as your account identifier and for contact discovery. Since 2024 Signal supports usernames, so after registering with a temporary number you can share your username and hide the number completely.
Is the registration lock PIN really necessary?
Yes — it's essential with a shared number. Without it, someone could re-register the number after it rotates and take over the account identifier. With the PIN set, they can't.
Can my contacts see the temporary number?
Only people who already have the number in their contacts would discover you. Enable username-based sharing and set "Who can find me by number" to Nobody in privacy settings.
What if Signal rejects the number?
Signal blocks some heavily used VoIP ranges. Try the newest number on the list or a different country — fresh numbers have the best success rate.
