Questions about Craigslist numbers
What if the Craigslist code doesn’t arrive?
Give it a minute, then ask Craigslist to send the code again. If no SMS reaches the number within 20 minutes, the order is refunded to your balance automatically, and you can try another country.
Will Craigslist accept the number?
Most apps accept our numbers, but no app accepts every number. If Craigslist rejects one, cancel the order before an SMS arrives and the money goes back to your balance.
Can I use the number again later?
No. The number receives codes only while its 20-minute window is open. Once you’re in, add an email or an authenticator app to your Craigslist account, so you can still sign in later.
Which country should I choose?
Keep Best available unless Craigslist needs a number from a particular country. It picks the country most likely to deliver for Craigslist.
