Imo SMS Verification

Activate Imo with a number that is not your personal one.

Imo is a video calling and messaging app that is widely used for calls home, especially between countries. You sign up with a phone number, and Imo texts you a code to confirm it.

SMS Activate can rent you a number for that text. It appears on your dashboard with the code. Your wallet is charged when the number is issued, and an order with no SMS inside 20 minutes is refunded.

How a Imo verification works: choose a service and country, enter the number, then read the code — The steps are short: pick the service and country, enter the number, read the code on your dashboard.

How to verify Imo in 5 steps

1Open the dashboard and choose Imo from the service list.
2Pick a country and buy a number.
3Enter the number in the Imo sign-up screen.
4Wait for the code on your dashboard.
5Enter it and add your name and photo.

What Imo uses the number for

Imo is built around your number. Friends find you by it, and the app lists your contacts who already use Imo. When you reinstall or change phones, you verify the same number again.

If a rented number is gone by then, you cannot get the code and may lose the account. Use a separate number for Imo only when you can live with that.

Who uses a separate number

Some people keep Imo for one family group or one country and prefer not to mix it with their main line. Others test calling quality from a new location before a trip.

For both, one code is the key step. After that, the number does not need to receive anything else unless you reinstall.

Possible problems

Imo can refuse numbers it sees too often, or the text can be slow on some routes. If nothing arrives after a couple of minutes, wait for the app's countdown before you ask for another code.

We cannot promise that Imo will accept every number. If one fails, cancel after the first two minutes and try a different country.
