Tunisian (+216) Numbers for OTP Codes and Account Logins
OTP Bolt provides Tunisia (+216) numbers that receive one verification code each through Instant OTP, from $0.20 per code, and returns the full price to your wallet if nothing arrives in 20 minutes. A Tunisian Dedicated Number for ongoing use, from $1.95/month, is available on request after the team confirms availability, price and whether an ID or address check applies.
Who needs a Tunisia virtual number?
More people than you'd think. Tunisians living in France, Italy or Germany often want a +216 number for an account linked to home without giving out the foreign mobile they use every day. Freelancers in Tunis or Sfax working for overseas clients like having a second number just for work sign-ups. And companies launching a product in the Maghreb want to know their registration screen handles Tunisian numbers before customers try it. Students heading abroad sometimes set one up too, so an account opened at home doesn't depend on a SIM they're about to stop using.
OTP Bolt serves all three with two products: Instant OTP for a single code, and a Dedicated Number when you need the line to stick around.
What can I verify with a +216 number?
Tunisia is one of our wider markets for Instant OTP, with more than 1,700 apps listed. Frequent picks include WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Google for Gmail and YouTube, ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft and Outlook, Discord, Snapchat, Viber, Signal and LinkedIn.
No list stays fixed for long. The dashboard always shows what's open for Tunisia at that moment, so look there first. If an app you need isn't listed today, it may reappear later, or a Dedicated Number may suit you better.
How do I receive a Tunisian OTP online?
- Register with Google, or with your email and the 6-digit code we send you.
- Top up your wallet. After that first payment you can buy, and every app shows its exact price.
- In Instant OTP, select the app and then Tunisia.
- Copy the +216 number into the app and ask it to send the code.
- Keep the dashboard open; the SMS normally shows in the live inbox within a minute or two.
Codes start from $0.20 per code depending on the app.
Typing a Tunisian number correctly
Tunisian numbers are eight digits with no trunk 0, and mobile numbers commonly begin with 2, 5 or 9. Choose Tunisia (+216) in the app's country menu and paste all eight digits. If the form wants the full international number in one box, write +216 followed by the eight digits.
Arabic is the official language and French is widely used, so local services may text you in either. Big international apps usually follow your phone or account language instead, which often means English or French.
Nothing arrived. Is my money gone?
No. Each order has a 20-minute window. When it ends without a code, or you cancel before one arrives, the full price goes back to your wallet automatically. Only delivered codes are charged for good.
A few checks while the clock runs:
- Make sure the app shows +216 and not a neighboring country's code.
- Try the app's resend option once. A second SMS on the same number sometimes works.
- If the app still sends nothing, it may refuse virtual numbers. Let the order end or cancel it, then try later.
Dedicated Number or Instant OTP for Tunisia?
Go with Instant OTP for a one-off sign-up. Go with a Dedicated Number when you'll be asked for a code again: new-device logins, two-step verification, password resets, or a contact number for your business.
Instant self-serve Dedicated Numbers exist only in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. For Tunisia, use Request a country in the dashboard. The OTP Bolt team checks availability and price, and lets you know whether local rules require an address or ID check before activation. Timing depends on the country.
A live Dedicated Number starts from $1.95/month, prepaid and renewed from your wallet, with an email reminder before renewal. You get an SMS inbox for unlimited verification texts, browser calling in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, inbound calls that ring in the browser and a call log. You can release it whenever you want.
Testing a Tunisian sign-up with the API
Developers can use an API key to order a +216 number, poll for the code and cancel unused orders from CI or a test script. It's useful for checking that your validation accepts eight-digit numbers without a leading 0 and that your Arabic or French SMS templates render properly. See the developer docs.
How is payment handled?
You pay from a prepaid OTP Bolt wallet held in US dollars, not in dinars. Top up by card via Stripe checkout or with USDT or USDC; invoices arrive as PDFs by email. Funds from refunded orders land back in the same wallet, ready for your next code.

Questions people ask
Can I get a Tunisian number while living in France?
Yes. Instant OTP doesn't care where you are, so you can order a +216 number from France or anywhere else and read the code online.
How much is a +216 number?
Instant OTP starts from $0.20 per code. A Tunisian Dedicated Number starts from $1.95/month if your request is approved.
Do Tunisian numbers start with 0?
No. Tunisia uses eight-digit numbers without a trunk 0, so you enter the digits right after +216.
Can I activate a Tunisian Dedicated Number myself right now?
No. Tunisia is on request, and the team confirms availability, price and any ID or address step before activation.
Can a Tunisian Instant OTP number be used again for a future login?
It's built for one code, so don't count on it. For repeat logins or recovery, pick a Dedicated Number.
Will the verification SMS be in Arabic?
It might be, especially from local services. Global apps generally send codes in your device or account language.
Why might an app turn down a Tunisian virtual number?
Some apps don't accept virtual numbers at all. When that happens and no code arrives, your order is refunded automatically.
Is OTP Bolt affiliated with the apps you verify on Tunisian numbers?
No. We aren't affiliated with any app, and their names are their owners' trademarks. Each app's rules still apply to you, so keep a single account for every real person or business.
