Phone sign-up
In some countries, Reddit also offers sign-up and sign-in with a phone number, confirmed with a code by text.
Keep a way back in
If you sign up with a phone number, add an email to the account, so you can still sign in if the number stops receiving codes.
Using a one-time number
Most people don’t need one for Reddit. If you sign up by phone and would rather not use your own, a number from ReserveSMS can take the code; it receives codes for 20 minutes only, so add an email straight away. Get a number for Reddit.
