How does Tantan sign-up work?
Tantan is run by Hello Group, the company behind Momo. It works like a swipe app: you see profiles nearby, and you match when both people like each other. To create an account, Tantan asks for a mobile number and texts a code, usually 6 digits, before you add a name, birthday, gender and photos.
Some app stores also list a separate international Tantan app aimed at Asian singles worldwide. Check which version you have, because the country codes and login options can differ between them.
Tantan and Chinese phone numbers
Most Chinese apps, Tantan included, rely on the phone number to confirm that a person is real, and mainland SIM cards are sold under real-name registration. Visitors, students and expats who have not yet got a local SIM often cannot finish sign-up with a foreign number.
TempSMSVerify lists Tantan numbers from China (+86) and other countries when its HeroSMS and 5sim lines have them in stock. Stock changes often, so check the live catalog before you buy.
Phone number for Tantan: errors and fixes
Tantan problems usually come from the country code, a slow network check or too many resends.
| Message or problem | What it usually means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Code not received | Tantan did not send the SMS, or delivery failed | Wait a few minutes, then cancel after about 2 minutes for a full refund |
| Country code not supported | Your Tantan version does not accept that country | Try a China (+86) number if in stock, or another country |
| Sending too frequently | Repeated code requests | Stop resending and wait before trying again |
| Code error | Typo or an older code | Enter only the newest code from your dashboard |
| Slider or picture check fails | Security check before the code is sent | Complete it once, slowly, and avoid switching VPN mid-flow |
Keep access to Tantan after the number expires
The number is reserved for up to 20 minutes. If Tantan later asks for a code on a new device, it will go to a number you no longer control.
- Set a password in Tantan's account settings so you can log in without SMS.
- Stay logged in on one phone, and avoid reinstalling the app.
- Once you have a local SIM, change the account to your own number if Tantan lets you.
- Complete Tantan's face verification if offered; it is separate from the SMS step.
Use Tantan honestly and safely
Use the number for one real profile with your own photos. Tantan's rules forbid fake profiles, catfishing, scams and ban evasion, and so does our Acceptable Use Policy at /acceptable-use. Be wary of matches who quickly move you to investment or crypto talk; that pattern is a well-known romance scam. Follow local laws.
FAQ
Tantan verification FAQ
Do I need a Chinese phone number for Tantan?
Often, yes. Tantan signs you up with a mobile number, and the China app version works most reliably with +86 numbers. Some versions accept other country codes. TempSMSVerify shows live Tantan stock by country, including China when available, so you can pick before paying.
How many digits is the Tantan verification code?
Tantan's SMS code is usually 6 digits. Enter it as soon as it arrives, because codes expire after a few minutes. With TempSMSVerify, the full SMS appears in your dashboard, and requesting another code on the same active number costs nothing extra.
Why is my Tantan code not arriving?
Check the country code, then wait a few minutes before resending. Tantan may say you are sending too frequently if you retry fast. If nothing arrives, cancel after about 2 minutes and your frozen TempSMSVerify balance is refunded in full. Try another number or country afterwards.
Can I use Tantan outside China?
Yes. Tantan has users across Asia and in overseas Chinese communities, and some stores list an international version. The number's country does not limit who you see, which depends on your location and settings. Pick a number country your Tantan version accepts.
What happens to my Tantan account when the number expires?
Nothing, while you stay logged in. The risk is a later login or device change that sends a code to the old number. Set a password right after sign-up, and switch the account to your own number once you have a local SIM, if your Tantan version allows it.
How do I avoid scams on Tantan?
Be careful with matches who push you to move chats elsewhere, ask for money, or talk up an investment or crypto platform. These are common romance scam patterns. Never share a verification code. Report suspicious profiles in the app. TempSMSVerify numbers are only for verifying your own genuine account.
