Toast has two phone checks: guests sign in to order with a number and a one-time code, and restaurant staff verify a mobile number for extra security. Signival gives you a temporary non-VoIP number to receive the OTP. Pay in Naira or crypto.
Toast is restaurant software, and it asks for a phone number in two different ways. Guests who order online or through the Local by Toast app sign in with a phone number and a one-time code, with no password. Restaurant staff who use Toast Web verify a mobile number for enhanced access. In both cases it sends a six-digit one-time password (OTP) by SMS, a temporary code you enter to continue. If you would rather not use your personal SIM, Signival gives you a temporary non-VoIP phone number that receives the Toast SMS verification code and shows it in your dashboard.
Toast’s help is clear about the details that trip people up. The number on a guest account cannot be updated, the staff check only accepts numbers from seven countries, and landlines and some internet-based numbers fail. This guide separates the two checks, explains how to receive a Toast OTP with Signival, and what to plan for afterwards.
Toast says guests sign in to or create a Toast account with their phone number, and that no password is needed. They enter the number and the one-time verification code sent to it. Guests can also place an order as a guest without creating an account.
Toast says its guest account no longer uses a traditional password. Instead of resetting one, you verify access using the number associated with the account and a one-time SMS code. If the code does not arrive, it says to check the number is correct and look in your spam or junk messages.
For restaurant staff, Toast says that once an account is set up, the user signs in to Toast Web and verifies a mobile phone number, receiving an SMS with a 6-digit code. This is enhanced access, and Toast says you may be asked for a one-time password again when opening pages with sensitive information.
Toast says an ‘invalid’ number error usually means one of two things: the number cannot receive text messages, which it says often happens with landlines and some internet-based numbers, or the number is from a country it does not support yet. It says the security step only works with numbers from the U.S., Canada, Ireland, U.K., New Zealand, Australia and India.
Toast says you can sign in or create an account with your phone number and a one-time code, or place the order as a guest without an account.
Each time you sign in to a guest account, you enter the number on it and a fresh SMS code. There is no password to fall back on.
Staff enter a mobile number in Toast Web, select Verify, and enter the 6-digit code. There are options to update the number or resend the code.
Get an available number for Toast, receive the SMS verification code, and complete your activation through your Signival dashboard.
An OTP number is a temporary phone number, sometimes called a virtual number, that receives text messages without a SIM in your phone. For Toast it can receive the verification code by SMS.
Toast is one of the few platforms that states a number-type rule: it says the check fails for a number that cannot receive text messages, which often means landlines and some internet-based numbers. Signival numbers are sourced from mobile operators rather than internet-based VoIP lines, but Toast runs its own checks, so there is no guarantee.
Toast says the staff check only works with numbers from the U.S., Canada, Ireland, U.K., New Zealand, Australia and India. Choose one of those countries. Toast’s pages do not list country limits for guest sign-in, so using one of the same seven is the safe choice there too.
The number on a guest account cannot be changed. Toast says you cannot update it at this time, and that the only option is to delete the account, wait one hour, and create a new one. A rented number that expires leaves you without a way to sign in, so order as a guest if you do not need the account. Toast says its loyalty accounts are separate and unaffected.

Search for Toast in SMS Verification and pick the USA, UK, Canada, India, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand. Check the live price and availability first.
On the restaurant’s Toast page or in Toast Web, enter your country code and the number, and ask for the code by text.
When Toast sends the text, the six-digit code appears in your Signival dashboard. Type it in before the activation ends.
A guest account’s number cannot be changed later. If you only want one order, use guest checkout so there is nothing to lose when the number expires.

Signival supports customers in Nigeria and other countries with payment options designed for different markets.
Fund your Signival wallet using supported local payment methods and pay for verification services in Nigerian Naira (NGN).
Customers in any country, including Ghana, South Africa, Cameroon, Canada, the USA, the UK, Germany and India, can fund their wallets with supported cryptocurrency, so you do not need a Nigerian bank account.
Temporary non-VoIP phone numbers for receiving one-time password (OTP) codes by SMS during an active activation session. The number lasts for the activation rather than working as a permanent personal phone line.
Depending on current inventory, you can choose from available country codes when requesting a Toast verification number, so you can pick one that fits your setup.
Nigerian users can fund in Naira using local payment methods. Customers in any country can fund with cryptocurrency. Your balance can then be used for supported verification services.
Once an SMS reaches the assigned number, the verification code is displayed in your Signival dashboard, so you manage the number and the incoming message from one place.
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.
Toast says the number may not be able to receive texts, which it says often means a landline or internet-based number, or it may be from an unsupported country. Cancel and try a mobile number from one of the seven supported countries.
Toast says guest account numbers cannot be updated. The only option it gives is to delete the account, wait one hour, and create a new one with the number you want.
There is no password to reset. Toast says you verify with the number on the account, so you need that number to receive the code.
Toast says it may ask for a one-time password when you open pages with sensitive information. Request a fresh code and enter it promptly.
Fund your Signival wallet in Naira or with cryptocurrency, choose Toast and a supported country in your dashboard, and enter the temporary number you are given when Toast asks for a phone number. Request the SMS, and when Toast sends the one-time code it appears in your dashboard for you to type in.
Toast says a number that cannot receive text messages fails the check, and that this often happens with landlines and some internet-based numbers. A temporary mobile number that receives SMS can complete that route.
Signival numbers are sourced from mobile operators rather than internet-based VoIP lines. That matters because Toast says some internet-based numbers cannot receive its code. Toast runs its own checks.
Toast says its staff verification only works with numbers from the U.S., Canada, Ireland, U.K., New Zealand, Australia and India. Numbers from other countries are not accepted.
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. A guest account’s number cannot be changed later, which makes that a risky choice.
Not for guest accounts. Toast says its guest accounts sign in with a phone number and a one-time SMS code, and that there is no traditional password to reset.
No. Toast says you cannot update the number at this time. The only option is to delete the account, wait one hour, and create a new one. Loyalty accounts are separate and are not affected.
No. Toast says guests can place an order without creating an account, or tick the option to create one at checkout for quicker checkout next time.
Toast’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.
