You don't need a US SIM card to create an Amazon US seller account. You need a real US phone number — and it can be digital.
Amazon Seller Central requires US phone verification. But here's what most people don't know: the number must pass Amazon's HLR (carrier database) check, which rejects all VoIP numbers. This means Google Voice, Skype, TextNow, and other free VoIP services won't work.
The solution: a real US +1 carrier-issued number delivered via eSIM. No physical SIM required. Works from India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or anywhere in the world.
Amazon's seller verification system runs HLR lookup before sending any OTP code. Here's what happens:
This is why you might see "Unable to send SMS" or "This number cannot receive SMS" messages. Amazon isn't sending the code because its security system flagged your number as non-real before the SMS was ever generated.
Amazon doesn't care where you are physically. It checks:
A White eSIM US +1 number meets all three requirements. It's backed by real T-Mobile infrastructure, receives SMS instantly, and is brand new with clean history.
Order at whiteesim.org. Choose the "US Starter" plan ($12/month for OTP). Pay with USDT (TRC-20) or USDC (BEP-20) crypto. Instant confirmation, eSIM QR code arrives in your WhatsApp within 1 hour.
Receive your eSIM QR code via WhatsApp. On your phone, go to Settings → Mobile Plan → Add Plan → Scan QR Code. The US +1 number activates in under 2 minutes. No reboot required.
Go to sellercentral.amazon.com. When asked for a phone number, enter your White eSIM US +1 number (format: +1-XXX-XXX-XXXX). This is the number that will receive OTP.
Amazon sends SMS with OTP to your White eSIM number. You receive it in 5-15 seconds. Enter the code on Amazon, and account creation is complete. You're now verified.
No. Once your Seller Central account is created and linked to the number, Amazon doesn't re-verify the number unless you try to change it. You're locked in.
However, if you're planning to use the number for other platforms (Stripe, PayPal, Instagram, Telegram, etc.), keep the eSIM active for a few months. Once those accounts are verified, they're also locked to the number.
Each Amazon account needs a unique phone number. You can order multiple White eSIM numbers — one for each account. Each number is independent and can be used for a different Amazon seller account.
Works from anywhere: India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or any country in the world. Amazon checks your number type, not your location.
