LINE’s phone verification rules are region-specific. Its current help article says phone-number verification by SMS or phone call applies to users in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand, including registration, number changes, and some account transfers. To view a LINE text here, open a MyTempSMS free public number only if the app supports that region and accepts the line.
Open the current public inbox only after LINE’s authentic app asks for phone verification. The help documentation used here is specifically scoped to Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand, so first confirm the account and number are in a supported context. LINE can also offer phone-call verification in some countries. A web SMS inbox cannot receive that voice code.
LINE states that one mobile phone number can verify only one LINE account. If you register a number already attached to another LINE account, the original account can become inaccessible. This is a significant risk with recycled public numbers because prior account history is unknown. If the line appears already used, do not displace another account. Treat shared inbox access as temporary only.
LINE documents multiple transfer routes. Depending on what you still control, a transfer can use the previous device’s QR code, the same phone number plus password, or linked Apple ID or Google account with additional verification. When SMS is unavailable, use the supported transfer method that matches your situation. Do not assume obtaining another temporary number can replace the previous account credentials.
LINE says it may ask users to verify the phone every 180 days to ensure the registered number remains the currently contracted number. That periodic check makes public temporary numbers especially fragile: even if an initial SMS arrives, later verification can fail after the line is recycled or removed. For an account you keep, bind a private phone and maintain alternate transfer credentials.
LINE’s phishing guidance describes fake notices that lead to login pages asking for phone number, email, password, and verification code. If you did not initiate a verification action in the LINE app, do not submit the code. Open LINE directly and review the account. Public inboxes add another exposure point, so security and transfer credentials should stay on a private number and official linked account.
First check that the help flow applies to your region and that the number and country code are correct. If LINE offers Call me instead, use the automated phone-call option on a private phone. If verification still fails, follow LINE’s official account-transfer or support guidance rather than repeatedly requesting texts to temporary numbers.
Do not continue trying to attach it. LINE says one phone number can belong to only one LINE account, and re-registering an already used number can make the original account inaccessible. Choose your own private mobile number. If the conflict involves your legitimate old account.
Review which resources you still have: the previous device, password, linked Apple ID or Google account, and email. LINE’s transfer table provides different paths based on those conditions. Use the matching official method. A new public number cannot prove possession of the previous account and may cause further phone-linking problems.
Use the live inventory to choose a phone line, visit that line's inbox, and then request a text through the platform's normal interface. Confirm the message matches the action and sender you expect.
Shared SMS pages expose incoming messages to other viewers and offer no promise of continued control. They are therefore unsuitable as the sole recovery credential.
LINE says the phone-number verification guidance discussed here applies to users in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. Do not generalize that exact phone flow to every country.
Yes, where the Call me instead option is available. LINE’s help explains that the automated call provides a verification code that the user enters in the app.
LINE says only one LINE account can be registered or verified with one mobile phone number. Registering a number already used by another account can make the original account inaccessible.
LINE documents several transfer methods, including QR transfer and linked Apple ID or Google account under supported conditions. The correct method depends on whether the old device and previous credentials remain available.
LINE says it can send a phone-verification message periodically, every 180 days, to confirm that the registered number is still the user’s currently contracted phone number.
LINE warns about fake messages and login pages that ask for a registered phone, email, password, and verification code. Entering those details can allow an attacker to steal the account.
