Craigslist SMS Verification in United States
A US number for Craigslist is a one-time +1 mobile number that receives your Craigslist verification code online for $0.94. The SMS appears on screen in seconds; if none arrives in 20 minutes you pay nothing.
Craigslist is a classified advertisements website with sections for jobs, housing, sales, and services, widely used in the United States and Canada. Craigslist asks for a phone number at sign-up, before your first listing or order, or when you change account details.
Craigslist is one of the apps people most often verify with a US number: Many apps launched in the United States still treat +1 as their home market: ride-hailing, food delivery, marketplaces and several AI tools ask for a US number before they open all features. A US number also lets you test the US version of an app, a US App Store listing or a US checkout from abroad.
Our US numbers follow the local format: +1 followed by a 3 digit area code and a 7 digit local number, 11 digits in total. For Craigslist that means: Pick United States (+1) in the app's country list and type the 10 digits that follow +1.
- Price: $0.94 per number, fixed before you buy. United States is number 151 of 152 by price for Craigslist; the lowest is India at $0.01.
- Code format: 5 digits.
- Example number: +1 (201) 555-0143 (yours is shown after purchase).
- Window: 20 minutes, with Another code at no extra cost.
- Time zone: Six time zones from UTC-5 (New York) to UTC-10 (Hawaii); codes arrive at any hour.

Pro Tip
Use a number from the same country as the posting location. Older numbers may work better than newly issued ones. Type the number without the leading 1 if the app already shows +1 next to the field.
