How DeepSeek sign-up and verification work
DeepSeek's chat app and website offer several ways in: email with a code, phone number with an SMS code, and Google or Apple sign-in on supported devices. The options you see depend on your region and app version.
With phone sign-up, DeepSeek texts a short verification code that you enter to finish. If you later log in with that phone, DeepSeek can send a new code to the same number, which matters if the number is temporary.
DeepSeek's phone registration has changed before
In late January 2025, after what it called large-scale malicious attacks, DeepSeek temporarily limited new registrations to mainland China (+86) phone numbers. Other sign-up methods returned afterward, and users reported registering with international numbers too.
We could not confirm a current, official list of countries DeepSeek accepts for phone sign-up. If DeepSeek rejects a TempSMSVerify number, no SMS is sent, so you are not charged. Cancel after about 2 minutes and try another country, or switch to email sign-in.
When to use a temp number for DeepSeek
A temp number for DeepSeek is useful when phone is the only option offered to you, or when you want to keep a work or test account separate from your personal number.
- Prefer email sign-in for an account you will keep, so logins do not depend on the number.
- Do not paste confidential data into a chat account you might lose access to.
- For the DeepSeek API, the developer platform account and API keys are what matter. Keep that account on an email you control.

DeepSeek errors are usually about region support or request limits.

Pay only if the DeepSeek code arrives

FAQ
DeepSeek verification FAQ
Does DeepSeek require a phone number?
Not always. DeepSeek offers email, phone, Google and Apple sign-in, depending on region and device. If phone is the option you need, a TempSMSVerify number receives the SMS code in your browser. For an account you plan to keep, email or Google sign-in avoids depending on a number that expires after up to 20 minutes.
Does DeepSeek only accept Chinese phone numbers?
Not as a permanent rule. In January 2025, DeepSeek briefly limited new registrations to mainland China (+86) numbers after reported attacks, then reopened other methods. We could not confirm an official current country list. With TempSMSVerify, a rejected number never receives an SMS, so you are not charged.
Why is my DeepSeek verification code not arriving?
DeepSeek may not support that country, or delivery may be slow. Request the code once and wait a few minutes, because repeated requests can trigger a limit. If nothing arrives, cancel after about 2 minutes, and TempSMSVerify returns your frozen balance automatically and in full.
Can I log in to DeepSeek later with a temporary number?
Only while the number is active. A TempSMSVerify number stays reserved for up to 20 minutes, so a later phone login would send the code to a line you no longer have. Link an email or Google account if DeepSeek allows it, and use that for future sign-ins.
Do I need a phone number for the DeepSeek API?
The DeepSeek API uses a developer platform account with API keys and its own billing. Sign-in options there can differ from the chat app. Keep the platform account on an email you control, because losing access means losing your keys and balance. A TempSMSVerify number can help with a one-time SMS step if one appears.
Is it allowed to use a temporary number on DeepSeek?
Verifying your own account is a normal use. Creating many accounts to get around usage limits, scraping the service, or using it to produce harmful content breaks DeepSeek's terms and our Acceptable Use Policy at /acceptable-use. Your conversations are also subject to DeepSeek's privacy policy, so avoid sharing sensitive data.
