MoonPay SMS Verification — Receive Your OTP Code
MoonPay requires a verified phone number to create an account, and sends purchase verification codes only by SMS. Signival gives you a temporary non-VoIP number to receive the OTP. Pay in Naira or crypto.
MoonPay asks you to verify a phone number when you create an account, and uses that number for SMS one-time passwords (OTPs) on sensitive actions such as confirming a purchase. If you would rather not use your personal SIM, Signival gives you a temporary non-VoIP phone number that receives the MoonPay SMS verification code and shows it in your dashboard.
MoonPay’s own help is clear about two things that matter here. A phone number is required when you create an account or sign in without one, and purchase verification codes always go by SMS, so they cannot be moved to email. This guide explains both, how to receive a MoonPay OTP with Signival, and what to plan for when you need the next code.
Why MoonPay Requires Phone Verification
MoonPay says that when you create an account, or sign in to an existing account that has no phone number, you are required to enter and verify your phone number.
MoonPay says SMS OTP is a one-time code sent by text message to your verified phone number, used for purchase verification and other sensitive actions. It says purchase verification codes are always sent by SMS, and cannot be received by email or redirected to another delivery method.
For sign-in, MoonPay says password users get an email verification code as the second factor on a new or unverified device. It tells you to keep your email and phone number up to date so you can receive codes, and to act at once if you see an unfamiliar sign-in notification.
When MoonPay Asks for a Phone Number
Creating an account
MoonPay requires you to enter and verify a phone number when you create an account or sign in to one without a number.
Verifying a purchase
MoonPay sends the purchase verification code by SMS to your registered number every time. It cannot be switched to email.
Other sensitive actions
MoonPay says certain sensitive actions need an SMS code to your registered number before you can continue.
Need a MoonPay Verification Number?
Get an available number for MoonPay, receive the SMS verification code, and complete your activation through your Signival dashboard.
Can a Temporary Number Receive Your MoonPay OTP?
An OTP number is a temporary phone number, sometimes called a virtual number, that receives text messages without a SIM in your phone. For MoonPay it can receive the verification code by SMS.
We could not find a rule about VoIP or virtual numbers in the MoonPay help pages we reached. Signival numbers are sourced from mobile operators rather than internet-based VoIP lines, but MoonPay runs its own checks, so there is no guarantee.
The detail that matters most is that purchase codes always go to your registered number. A rented number expires, so a later code has nowhere to go. MoonPay says that if you no longer have access to your registered phone number or email, you should contact its support team through the chat button on its help pages.
MoonPay’s identity verification is a separate step that asks for your own documents. The SMS number does not replace it.

Tips for Receiving Your MoonPay SMS Code
- Request the code once and keep the screen open. Ask for the text once and wait through the activation window. Repeated requests only add confusion.
- Keep your email and number up to date. MoonPay tells you to keep both current so codes can reach you. Check them before a purchase, not during one.
- Check the junk folder for the sign-in email. MoonPay’s help says to check junk, spam or ‘Other’ for the sign-in verification email, and to whitelist its sender address.
- Use MoonPay’s own chat for support. Many ‘MoonPay support’ phone numbers appear in search results. MoonPay’s help points you to the chat on its help pages, so use that.
- Never share the code. A code is only ever for you to type into MoonPay. Anyone who asks you to read one out is trying to take over the account.
If Your MoonPay OTP Code Does Not Arrive or Is Rejected
The SMS does not arrive
Check the country code and digits, wait through the activation window and request the code once. If nothing arrives within 5 minutes, cancel for a refund.
MoonPay will not accept the number
Check the country code and digits. If they are right, MoonPay may not accept the number, so cancel and try one from another country.
You expect the purchase code by email
MoonPay says purchase verification codes are always sent by SMS and cannot be received by email or redirected. The code goes to your registered number.
The sign-in verification email does not arrive
MoonPay’s help says to check your junk, spam or ‘Other’ folder, whitelist its sender address, and try signing in again. Contact its support team if that does not help.
You no longer have the registered number
MoonPay says to contact its support team through the chat button on its help pages. Do not call a number you found through a search result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I receive a MoonPay OTP code without my personal number?
Fund your Signival wallet in Naira or with cryptocurrency, choose MoonPay and a country in your dashboard, and enter the temporary number you are given when MoonPay asks you to verify a phone number. Request the SMS, and when MoonPay sends the one-time code it appears in your dashboard for you to type in.
Does MoonPay accept temporary, virtual or VoIP numbers?
In the help pages we could reach, MoonPay does not describe a rule about virtual or VoIP numbers. A temporary number that receives SMS can complete that route.
Are Signival numbers non-VoIP?
Signival numbers are sourced from mobile operators rather than internet-based VoIP lines. MoonPay does not publish rules about number types in the help we could reach. MoonPay runs its own checks.
Can I get a free OTP number for MoonPay?
Signival numbers are paid, starting from 150 naira. A free public number is shared by many people, so anyone can read the code sent to it. For an account that handles purchases, that is a risky choice.

No. MoonPay says purchase verification codes are always sent by SMS, and cannot be received by email or redirected to a different delivery method.
What if I lose access to my registered phone number?
MoonPay says to contact its support team through the chat button on its help pages. Be wary of any ‘MoonPay support’ number found through a search, since it is not from MoonPay’s help pages.
Can I receive the code by call instead of text?
MoonPay’s help describes the code arriving by SMS. If a call option ever appears, an SMS-only number cannot receive it, so cancel and try another number if the SMS does not arrive.

If the SMS does not arrive before the activation expires, the request is closed under the applicable service and refund terms, and eligible failed activations may qualify for a wallet refund. Check the activation status and refund conditions shown on Signival before you order.
