LinkedIn asks for a number to verify an account and for two-step login. A rented line lets you do that without publishing your personal line in a professional network.
A verified profile without your private line
LinkedIn is a network where strangers contact you. A rented number lets you verify the account without attaching your everyday number to it.
A number where you are job-hunting
A local number where you are applying: a recruiter sees a candidate reachable on the ground, and you read their messages in the app.
Incoming calls, too
Our numbers receive calls, not only SMS. A phone interview lands in ELK Connect, wherever you are.
Frequently asked questions
- Does LinkedIn accept a virtual number?
- In many cases yes for SMS verification. As everywhere, LinkedIn applies its own filters and may refuse a range of numbers with no explanation.
- Is my number visible to other members?
- Only if you add it to your contact details, which you control inside LinkedIn. Verification itself does not make it public.
- Can I take recruiter calls on it?
- Yes, incoming calls land in the app. To call out, use the international calling service, billed by the minute from the same balance.
Worth knowing
LinkedIn's identity verification, the one that adds a badge to the profile, runs on an identity document and not on a number. A line does not replace it.
