Equatorial Guinea +240 Numbers for SMS Verification

Ordering a +240 number for one code

If you just need to get past a phone-verification screen, this is all it takes:

1. Sign up with Google, or with an email you confirm via a 6-digit code.
2. Make a first wallet top-up. It unlocks purchases and reveals the exact price per app.
3. In Instant OTP, choose the service, then Equatorial Guinea from the country list.
4. Copy the +240 number into the app and ask it to send the code.
5. Look at your dashboard inbox. In most cases the message is there within a minute or two.

The number is tied to that one order, so there's no SIM to buy and nothing to return.

Typing the number so the app accepts it

Numbers in Equatorial Guinea are nine digits long, and there's no trunk 0 to strip off. You simply put +240 in front.

• If the form has a country selector, choose Equatorial Guinea (+240) and paste the nine digits.
• If it's a single box, enter +240 and the nine digits together.
• Some apps list the country under its Spanish name, Guinea Ecuatorial, so search for that if you can't find it.

Spanish, French and Portuguese are all official languages, and Spanish is the one you'll see most. Regional services may send their texts in Spanish, while big international apps generally match the language you've set. The digits in the code don't change.

Which services work with an Equatorial Guinea virtual number?

The live list in the dashboard is always the current one, because coverage changes. OTP Bolt has no affiliation with these apps; their names are their owners' trademarks.

The 20-minute window and how refunds work

From the moment you order, the number waits 20 minutes for a message. If the window closes with nothing received, the whole price lands back in your wallet without you asking. Canceling before a code arrives refunds it too. Once a code is delivered, the order is done and isn't refundable.

If it's quiet, check three things. First, did the app confirm it sent a code? Second, is +240 entered only once? Third, does this app accept virtual numbers at all? Some don't, and the automatic refund covers exactly that case.

Sometimes you can request a second SMS to the same number. If not, cancel and retry, or try another country if the app doesn't require a +240 number specifically.

Do I need a Dedicated Number for Equatorial Guinea?

Choose a Dedicated Number when the account will matter later. Banking-style logins, two-step verification and account recovery all send texts again, and a one-time number can't receive them.

Dedicated Numbers start from $1.95/month. Only US, Canadian and Puerto Rican numbers are activated instantly and self-serve. Equatorial Guinea goes through "Request a country" in your dashboard: our team looks into availability and price for +240 and lets you know if an address or ID check is required by local rules before activation. Turnaround depends on the country, and for smaller markets it can take longer.

What you get once it's live:

• An SMS inbox that takes unlimited verification texts
• Outgoing calls from the browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari)
• Incoming calls that ring in the browser, plus a call log
• Prepaid terms paid from your wallet, a reminder email before renewal, and the option to release the number anytime

Common reasons to want a local number in Equatorial Guinea

The oil and gas sector brings in foreign contractors, many of whom split time between Malabo or Bata and home. A +240 number lets them keep local accounts separate from their main phone. Families living in Spain or elsewhere abroad use one to stay connected to services back home. And small firms working with local partners often want a contact number that isn't someone's personal mobile. Developers building for Central African users also need real +240 numbers to confirm their own verification texts arrive.

Whatever the reason, register only your own accounts and respect each app's terms.

For developers testing +240 delivery

You can automate the same flow. With an API key, the REST API lets you order an Equatorial Guinea number, poll for your app's verification SMS and cancel what you don't use, with the usual automatic refunds. See the developers page.

How payment works

Fund a prepaid USD wallet by card via Stripe checkout, or with USDT or USDC. PDF invoices are sent by email. Your first top-up unlocks buying across OTP Bolt, and the pricing page shows how charges are applied. Because the wallet is prepaid, nothing is billed automatically beyond what you've loaded, and any refund from an expired order is available to spend on the next one right away.
