A +590 Number for Saint Barthelemy Sign-Ups and Codes
Yes, you can get a Saint Barthelemy (+590) number with OTP Bolt: Instant OTP receives one verification code from $0.20 per code, and a Dedicated Number you keep is available on request from $1.95/month. Instant coverage on the island is small, a little over 20 apps today, so check the live list before you top up.
Why +590 confuses so many sign-up forms
Saint Barthelemy is a French overseas collectivity, and it does not have a calling code of its own. It shares +590 with Guadeloupe and the French side of Saint Martin. Mobile numbers on the island are normally written locally as ten digits beginning 0690 or 0691.
Two habits save a lot of failed attempts:
- Drop the leading 0. After +590, enter the nine digits that follow it, so 0690 12 34 56 becomes +590 690 12 34 56.
- Look for Guadeloupe if St. Barts is missing. Plenty of apps leave Saint Barthelemy out of their country dropdown. Choosing Guadeloupe gives you the same +590 prefix, and the number itself is what gets the SMS.
French is the official language, so if an app picks its language from the number rather than your settings, expect the code to arrive in French.
Who looks for a St. Barts phone number for verification?
Saint Barthelemy is small, and the people asking about a local number tend to fit a few profiles. Seasonal staff and villa or boat crews who spend the winter on the island often want a local-looking contact without giving out a personal mobile. Owners of small rental or service businesses keep a second number so bookings stay apart from family messages. And teams building apps for French-speaking Caribbean markets need to check that their phone field handles +590 properly.
All of these are about privacy, work or testing your own product. A number from OTP Bolt is not a way to create extra accounts or sidestep an app's verification rules.
Apps you can verify with a Saint Barthelemy virtual number
As a Saint Barthelemy phone number for verification, an Instant OTP +590 line currently works with more than 20 apps. The featured ones are TikTok, Amazon, LinkedIn, AliExpress, Flipkart, Mercado Libre, Mercado Pago, Coinbase, Bumble and Swiggy.
That list is short, and it changes as routes come and go. If the app you need is not there, do not top up just for it. Either check back in the dashboard later, choose another country if your account does not need a St. Barts number, or go down the Dedicated Number route described further on.
Steps to receive SMS online for Saint Barthelemy
- Sign up with Google or with your email address and the 6-digit code we send to it.
- Top up the wallet once. That first payment unlocks ordering and reveals the exact price per app.
- Choose the app, then Saint Barthelemy as the country.
- Copy the +590 number and paste it into the app without a leading 0.
- Keep the dashboard open; the code appears in the live inbox, typically a minute or two after the app sends it.
Pricing begins from $0.20 per code, with the final figure set by the app. Each order stays open for 20 minutes. Cancel before a code comes in, or let the timer run out empty, and the whole amount returns to your wallet without a support ticket. A delivered code is final and not refunded, though some orders let you ask for one more SMS on the same number. The Instant OTP page covers the details.
When the +590 code does not show up
Check the obvious things first: the app should display +590, there should be no extra 0, and you should have tapped send only once or twice. Some apps hold back a resend for a minute, so wait before pressing it again.
If the window closes with an empty inbox, the refund has already happened. A second attempt on a fresh number sometimes works. If an app keeps refusing, it is probably screening virtual ranges, and no amount of retrying will change that.
Keeping a dedicated +590 line on request
A Dedicated Number is the option for a number you will need again: for logins, account recovery, a business contact or calls. Self-serve, instant activation is limited to the US, Canada and Puerto Rico, so Saint Barthelemy goes through Request a country in your dashboard. The OTP Bolt team checks whether a line can be provided, quotes the price and tells you whether French rules require proof of address or ID before it is switched on. Timing varies by request.
An active dedicated line includes an SMS inbox that takes unlimited verification texts, browser calling in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari without a SIM, incoming calls that ring in the browser, and a call log. Pricing is from $1.95/month, prepaid from your wallet, with an email before each renewal and the freedom to release the number at any time. Read more on the Dedicated Numbers page.
The rule of thumb: one code and done means Instant OTP; a number that has to keep working means a dedicated one.
API access and wallet payments
If you are testing your own sign-up flow for St. Barts users, the REST API lets you order a +590 number, poll for the SMS and cancel with an API key, with the same refund rule as the dashboard. It is a quick way to confirm that your form accepts the shared prefix and strips the zero. See /developers.
The wallet is prepaid in US dollars and accepts card payments through Stripe checkout or crypto in USDT or USDC. A PDF invoice is emailed for each top-up, and OTP Bolt shows exact app prices from that first payment onward.

Questions people ask
Does Saint Barthelemy have its own country code?
No. It uses +590, the same code as Guadeloupe and French Saint Martin. If an app has no Saint Barthelemy entry, selecting Guadeloupe gives the same prefix.
Why are so few apps available for a St. Barts number?
Instant coverage depends on the routes our carrier partners have for +590 at the moment, and right now that is a little over 20 apps. The dashboard always shows the current list.
Can I get a +590 number while living in France or the US?
Yes. Instant OTP works from any browser, wherever you are. A dedicated Saint Barthelemy line can also be requested from abroad, subject to availability and any checks.
Will the verification text be in French?
It might be. Many apps follow your app language, but some choose based on the number's country, and French is the language there.
Do I lose money if the code never arrives?
No. If nothing reaches the inbox within 20 minutes, or you cancel first, the full price goes back to your wallet automatically.
Is a dedicated Saint Barthelemy number activated straight away?
No. Instant activation applies to numbers in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico alone. For St. Barts the team confirms availability, price and any address or ID requirement before activation.
