According to 2018 data from Business of Apps, over 4.1 million people use Tinder, the popular dating app. That number will surely only grow, as the app supports more than 40 languages for users in 190+ countries. What if you want to join the masses but you don’t want to use your real phone number on Tinder? Can you?

Through a service like what we offer at PingMe, it’s possible to register for a second and even a third phone number to use for Tinder registration. Doing so is fast, easy, and inexpensive, making your foray into Tinder a pleasant one.

In this guide, we’ll tell you exactly how to use PingMe to register a separate phone number on Tinder that’s not your real number. If you want to do that with multiple numbers, we even explain what the process is for that as well.

Let’s begin.

Why Would You Want to Use a Different Phone Number on Tinder?

How to Use Your Second Phone Number to Get a Tinder Verification Code

MuchNeeded.com notes that 20 billion Tinder matches get made each day, with 1.6 billion swipes within that time frame. Every week, a million people will go on dates thanks to Tinder.

You have only two means of signing up for an account on Tinder. That’s through either Facebook or your own phone number. If you’re concerned about stigma or privacy, then it might not appeal to you to use Facebook to register. You may also not have a Facebook account.

That leaves you with registering by phone. Now comes the fun part, and that’s getting a second or third phone number through PingMe. In case you’re not familiar, PingMe is an app that lets you port your phone number to send and receive voicemails and texts online. You can also use PingMe to make inexpensive international calls. For instance, it costs $0.22 a minute to call someone in the Philippines, $0.04 a minute to make calls to China, $0.0075 a minute for calls to Canada, and $0.021 a minute to reach friends, family, or business associates in India.

If you’re ready to use PingMe to receive one or more verification codes from Tinder, here are the steps to follow.

Step 1:

Download the PingMe app. This is available for free on the Android App Store, the Google Play Store, and the Apple App Store. Click here to download

Step 2:

Under the Manage Phone Numbers tab(sim card icon), tap on Verification Code SMS Helper.

Step 3:

Select the app or website from which you would like to receive a verification code from. Then choose the country/region and a phone number.

Step 4:

Upon clicking next, the app should have generated a phone number for you to receive your code from. Enter that phone number into the app/website you have selected to receive the verification code.

Step 5:

The verification code SMS will appear in the empty text field. Input the verification code into your desired app and you are done! If you did not receive the text, tap the Try a New Number button.

That’s about it! Congratulations on getting your new verification code! Should you decide you want to receive another verification code, just follow steps two through five again and it will generate a different number to receive the code. You do need credits to use PingMe, so make sure you have a sufficient balance.
