中文Temporary Phone Number for Tantan
Updated 3 min read
Tantan confirms every new profile through an SMS sent to the number entered at signup, before swiping begins. Keeping that dating account off your everyday line is easier with an additional virtual number for this one step. 5SIM lets you pick an available number, receive the SMS online, and check it through your dashboard during the active order.
Receive SMS online for Tantan verification – Virtual Number for SMS Verification
Tantan is a swipe-based dating and discovery app. You move through profiles one at a time, and a mutual like opens a chat. Profiles pair photos with short prompts, and the deck mixes people nearby with wider matches so the pool does not run dry in smaller cities. The free tier covers basic matching and messaging, while paid tiers add more daily swipes and more visibility in other people's stacks. The app sits inside Hello Group's set of social products, alongside Momo.
May 2026 brought a full relaunch. Tantan rebranded under a "Date better" line, steering members toward slower, more deliberate matching rather than rapid-fire swiping. The company moved its global base to a regional hub and set its sights on Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Taiwan with market-specific launches. The refresh shipped a redesigned interface, AI-assisted matching, community-driven discovery, and daily horoscope prompts drawn from regional traditions.
Trust and safety got rebuilt in the same pass. Profiles carry verification badges, a "Who can see me" control governs visibility, reporting is clearer, and the inclusion language now covers LGBTQ+ members across the region. Recent figures put monthly active users near 11 million, with paying members in the high hundreds of thousands.
Signing up takes a phone number, and Tantan sends an SMS to confirm it. Someone who prefers matches and dating messages kept apart from a line shared with work or family can register through an additional virtual number and read the SMS in a 5SIM order.
