Reunion Island Numbers (+262) for OTP Codes and Beyond

Short-term code or long-term +262 line?

Think about the account a year from now.

If you only have to get past a sign-up screen once, Instant OTP is enough. You receive one code on a Reunion number, from $0.20 per code, and the order ends there.

If the account will keep texting you, for example when you log in on a new laptop or reset a forgotten password, you want a Dedicated Number. It stays yours while it renews, from $1.95/month, and every later SMS lands in the same inbox.

One practical difference for Reunion: Instant OTP is available immediately, while a Dedicated Number is requested and reviewed first. Plan ahead if you need the permanent option.

Apps available with a Reunion number

Instant OTP in Reunion covers more than 950 apps right now. Popular ones include WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Google (Gmail & YouTube), Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Microsoft & Outlook, ChatGPT (OpenAI), Amazon, Netflix and Airbnb.

Availability is per app and per country, and it shifts over time. Choose the app in the dashboard to see whether Reunion is listed today. OTP Bolt has no affiliation with these companies, and their names remain their trademarks.

Steps to receive a +262 verification code

1. Register with Google, or with an email address and the 6-digit code we send to it.
2. Fund your wallet. Your first top-up unlocks purchases and displays the exact Reunion price per app.
3. Go to Instant OTP, pick the app, then pick Reunion.
4. Paste the +262 number into the app and ask it to send the SMS.
5. The code appears in the dashboard's live inbox, usually inside a minute or two.

You have 20 minutes per order. Should the code fail to arrive, or should you cancel before it does, your wallet gets the full price back automatically. Delivered codes are not refunded.

If the SMS never lands

Check the basics before reordering.

• Did the app store the number as +262 followed by nine digits, without the local 0?
• Did you press resend? Certain orders let the app send a fresh SMS to that same +262 number.
• Did the app show an error about the number type? Some services decline virtual numbers, and the refund rule exists for exactly that case.

When in doubt, cancel, let the balance return, and try a fresh order. A different country for the same app is another route if the account permits it.

How to request a Reunion Dedicated Number

Reunion is not one of the three self-serve markets (the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, where numbers go live instantly), so a +262 line goes through a request:

1. Open Request a country in the dashboard and select Reunion.
2. Our team checks availability and the monthly price for a +262 number.
3. You are told whether an address or ID check is needed under local rules.
4. After you confirm and complete any checks, the number is activated.

How long that takes varies. Once active, the number gives you an SMS inbox for unlimited verification texts, outbound and inbound calls in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari with no SIM, and a call log. Terms are prepaid from the wallet, you get an email before renewal, and you can release the number whenever you want. Read more on the Dedicated Numbers page.

Reunion numbers, formats and language

Reunion is a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean with its own dial code, +262. Locally, mobile numbers are written with a leading 0, such as 0692 or 0693 followed by six digits. For a sign-up form, drop that 0: a mobile becomes +262 692 XX XX XX.

Watch the country picker. Many forms list Réunion as a separate entry with +262. A few French sites only offer France (+33), and those may not accept a +262 number at all.

French is the official language and Réunion Creole is widely spoken, so expect most verification texts in French unless the app is set to English. People look for a Reunion phone number for verification for ordinary reasons: islanders studying or working in mainland France who keep their local accounts, visitors on a long stay, small businesses that want a separate line, and developers checking a French-language sign-up flow.

Testing your sign-up flow for Reunion users

Developers can order +262 numbers through the REST API with an API key, poll for the SMS and cancel orders that receive nothing. It is a quick way to confirm your form accepts Reunion as a country, strips the leading 0 correctly and delivers French-language codes to your own test accounts.
