What if I use a temporary phone number for LinkedIn’s SMS verification?
Posted by on May 27, 2026 at 2:09 pmJust to clarify: i will not be putting this number on my resume or giving it to recruiters. I simply value my privacy and I don’t want my real phone number permanently sitting in LinkedIn’s database. I just need to get past their mandatory SMS verification to create the account.
If I use one of those free SMS-receive sites to get the 6-digit code, will I get banned? Does anyone have experience with this?

Virtual will get banned instantly you have to use non VoIP number. Can recommend Voidmob for this they have LinkedIn and all the other major platforms.
