Want to change the phone number on your account? It is short, and a verification code reaches the new number before it is saved.
Before you start
Have the new phone in your hand now — the code arrives there by text message.
Step one: open Account settings
After signing in, click your name at the top of the page and choose Account settings.
Step two: press "Change" next to the phone number
On your details card, find the phone row and press Change beside it.
Step three: pick your country and type the number
Choose your country from the list, type your number without the country code, and press Send verification code. You can open the change phone page directly from here.
Step four: type the code you received
A text message arrives with the code. Type it into the box and confirm, and the new number is saved on your account.
No message arrived?
Check the number is right and your phone has signal. The same page has a button to send it again and one to go back and correct the number.
Done
A message confirms the new number has been saved.
Worth knowing
- The code goes to the NEW number, which is what proves it is yours.
- Nothing changes until you enter the code.
- Type the number without a leading zero and without the country code — the country comes from the list.
- Use a number that receives messages; account alerts may be sent to it.
