Thailand virtual phone number
A Thai virtual number: a +66 mobile for LINE, Shopee, Lazada and every app that asks for a phone from Thailand. It is issued online, and you read the codes in your dashboard instead of on a SIM.

How to get a Thai number: step by step

- Pay for the format you need; the +66 number is issued to your dashboard automatically.
- Enter the number where the service asks for a phone and request the code.
- Read the SMS code in the dashboard, type it in, and the account is live.
Buy a Thai virtual number: the essentials
A Thailand virtual number starts with LINE: it is the local default, the app Thai shops and customers write in. Shopee, Lazada and delivery apps verify by SMS to a +66 mobile. Expats and remote workers need a local line for exactly these services. A virtual Thai phone number provides one without a visit to a phone shop: it is issued to your dashboard, and the code is read there from any country.
Thailand is available in both formats when the passport above shows stock, and the price is displayed there too. A one-time +66 code registers a single app. A permanent Thai number is a mobile line on a physical SIM, rented monthly. It is the choice for a LINE account you will keep, for a Shopee or Lazada seller profile and for delivery apps that text a code at every new login.
Thai numbers in practice
Remote workers who spend the season in Bangkok or Chiang Mai take a permanent +66 line before the flight. LINE, food delivery and marketplace accounts are registered on it, each on its own line, and nothing breaks when a tourist SIM expires.
Sellers from abroad open a Shopee or Lazada shop with a Thai phone number for verification, one line per shop. At BasolinoVoIP every price on the page comes from the live catalog, not from a text someone typed. A temporary Thai number serves for a single app they want to try. Nearby in the catalog: Vietnamese numbers.
Who takes a Thai number
A +66 line for the messenger Thai customers and contacts use by default.
A Thai mobile for seller accounts that verify and re-check by SMS.
A local number for delivery apps and services during a long stay.
Receive SMS online with a +66 number
Receive SMS online with a +66 number: LINE, Shopee, Lazada and delivery apps send codes to a Thai mobile. They open in your dashboard whether you are in Phuket or at home. When you buy a Thai number online, a single code covers one registration and a monthly line keeps receiving SMS while it is renewed. How receiving SMS works for every country is on the receive SMS page.

Questions about Thai numbers
One-time or permanent: which format for a Thai number?
One-time for a single sign-up code, permanent for an account that will be re-checked. The passport above shows which formats Thailand has in stock right now.
Can I run a second account on a Thai number?
Yes. Register the second account on the +66 line, apart from your personal SIM; each account gets its own number from the dashboard.
Will a business profile accept a +66 number?
Yes. A business profile verifies the same way as a personal one; take the permanent format so re-verifications keep passing for years.
Can I move an existing account to a Thai number?
Yes. Change the phone in the account settings of the service to the new +66 number, confirm the code from the dashboard, and the account keeps working.
Can contacts tell that my Thai number is virtual?
No. It looks like any other +66 mobile number in their contact list, and apps do not label numbers by origin.
Does the +66 dial code matter for the services I use?
For messengers and social apps, no. For payment services and exchanges, yes: they expect the phone of the account region. The service pages say which case is which.
Does a +66 number receive codes from any service?
Yes. The line receives SMS from any sender: messengers, marketplaces, payment services. Keep one line per account; the code lands in your dashboard within minutes.
Where do I see the code sent to my Thai number?
In your dashboard, from any browser. Codes do not go to a phone; they land next to the number they belong to.
Can I register LINE on a Thai virtual number?
LINE verifies by SMS to the +66 mobile, and the code appears in your dashboard. For an account you keep, take the permanent line.
Do Shopee and Lazada in Thailand accept a +66 number from here?
Both verify by SMS and receive a regular mobile number. Seller accounts are re-checked, so give each one its own permanent line.
Which digits do Thai mobile numbers start with?
With 6, 8 or 9 after the +66 code. The number is written +66 x xxxx xxxx, and local apps read it as a mobile.
Is a Thai number useful for expats and remote workers?
Yes, it is the local line that delivery apps and marketplaces ask for, and it does not depend on a tourist SIM staying active.
