Start with one of the free public numbers visible on this page. If the Dave screen asks for a mobile number, enter the selected number with the country code it shows. Then return to the same inbox and watch for the newest message. The inbox may receive a text even when Dave declines the number, so treat receipt and account approval as separate outcomes. Dave’s sign-up guide requires a mobile phone number and says it sends a verification code to protect the account with two-factor authentication.
Choose one free number from the live list and note its country prefix before leaving this page. Enter it only at the official Dave phone step, request the message once, and come back to the matching inbox. Stay with that inbox while waiting; switching numbers can make it unclear which request produced a text. Dave still decides whether the submitted number is acceptable.
A new account should follow the documented sign-up sequence. To Register Dave, use the active verification step shown there. Dave’s sign-up guide requires a mobile phone number and says it sends a verification code to protect the account with two-factor authentication. Dave also verifies email and reviews personal information before financial-account features are opened.
A phone number can fail for reasons beyond SMS reachability. If Dave cannot verify the account or number, recheck your personal details and whether you already opened a Dave account under a different email or phone. Dave may require recovery or closure of the older account before a new setup can continue.
Dave ties phone verification to a broader identity and financial-account process. Sign-up uses a mobile number for 2FA, a separate app passcode, email verification, and personal-information review. Dave also states that only one account is allowed in a person’s name, so another phone number is not an appropriate workaround for access problems.
If you cannot access your email but still have the linked phone, use Dave’s documented alternative login and request a text code; additional ID verification may follow. If you lost the phone too, contact Member Success. For lasting access, keep a private recovery method under your control.
Confirm the mobile number is the one tied to the Dave account and that your phone can receive standard SMS. Use the newest verification code and never share it; Dave says it will not contact you asking for the code or password.

No acceptance guarantee is possible. A public number may be technically able to receive SMS while Dave still rejects it because account, eligibility, reuse, carrier, or risk checks are separate from message delivery.

Dave says you can only have one Dave account in your name and duplicate accounts may be flagged. If you already have an account under another phone or email, recover that account instead of creating another one.
No. This is a public inbox, so another visitor may be able to read the same incoming SMS. Never use it for passwords, payments, identity documents, or long-term recovery on Dave.
