Do you want to verify your Discord account without using your phone number? Yep, it’s understandable that you want to keep your phone number private.

However, it’s not exactly easy to do that.

Read below to see what I mean!

Summary: In this article, I discuss how to verify your Discord account without using your personal phone number. 

While it's not easy to completely skip phone verification, there are alternative ways to safeguard your privacy. 

I share three options: borrowing a friend's or family member's phone number, using a burner phone, or contacting Discord support to request an alternative verification method. 

Keep in mind that some of these solutions may not always work, but they are worth considering if you want to protect your phone number.

Use a Friend’s Mobile Phone

You don’t want to disclose your phone number to Discord? Simple, just use a friend’s phone number, and you’re safe.

You can also use your spouse’s or parents’ phone numbers if you don’t have friends. That’s quite alright (using their number, not being friendless).

Follow the steps below to see how you can change the Discord phone number:

1. Click on the Gear icon

Begin by opening Discord and finding the Gear icon located in the bottom-left corner of app (near the headphones and microphone icons).

Select that to access the Discord settings – you’ll need these shortly!

2. Go to “My Account“

Once you open the settings, select the first option on the list (in the left-hand side menu) – “My Account“. Then, look at my following instructions:

3. Select “Edit” near your phone number

On the “My Account” page, focus on the middle section where you can see your profile information (username, email, phone number, etc.)

Select “Edit” next to the phone number field (see the picture above), and keep reading:

4. Verify your phone number

Now, all you need to do is enter a new phone number (your friend’s or parents’) and click “Send“.

Discord will verify the new phone number by sending you a code. Enter the code on Discord, and then the new phone number will be attached to your Discord account.

Use a Burner Phone

This solution may not always work because Discord is better at identifying burner phone numbers now. However, it’s worth a shot if you value your privacy.

Get a burner phone and a disposable SIM card, and verify your Discord account. If you’re lucky, Discord should not notice anything wrong.

After all, you’re not using a fake or non-existent phone number. The phone number is real and can receive calls/messages.

Plus, it’s not like burner phones are marked as such. The burner phone number will look the same as a permanent phone number.

The problem is that Discord doesn’t ask you to verify your phone just once. This verification pops up occasionally, especially if Discord detects suspicious activities from your account.

Moreover, some Discord servers may require you to verify your phone. They want to know you’re a human being and not a bot.

Ask Discord to Verify Your Account

If you genuinely don’t use a mobile phone and don’t have a phone number, Discord should give you a chance to prove you’re human.

So, if Discord asks you for a phone number to verify your identity, you can contact customer support and ask them to verify you some other way.

You can submit a request here.

Choose the categories related to phone verification and then select “Other” when asked to clarify your issue. Type in “I don’t have a phone number” or something like that.

When asked to clarify your problem in the “Description” field, tell them you don’t use phones and don’t have a phone number.

Ask them to verify your identity some other way, maybe with your email address or something.

Then, click on “Submit” to send the request. Depending on customer support’s workload, you should receive an answer within 2-4 business days or sooner.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to speed things up, and if you don’t want to waste time, you’d better verify your phone number by using someone else’s phone number.

Conclusion

To summarize, you can verify Discord without a phone by:

• Using someone else’s phone number
• Using a burner phone
• Contacting Discord support and asking them about a solution

I can’t guarantee the last two solutions will work, but they’re worth a shot if your privacy is important enough.
