Yesterday when I was signup to the Amazon affiliate program that was not as easy as it sounds. Especially if you are not a U.S. citizen like me. There was a problem when I try to
It’s not like the old days when you can found a bunch of tutorials How to Sign Up for Amazon Affiliate Program on blogs out there. Do not mean to be sarcastic here, but the rule has
The first idea comes with try to talk to some US friends on social media and ask them for help. But something stops me from doing that. I don’t feel good to do that. And I don’t want to do that because I don’t want to bother anyone for my own work. So I try to find another way, and yep! finally, I did it. Of course, after a few time failed.
In this post, I will share a trick for
Okay! this is what I’ve done and the resources you need to get the job done! Let’s figure it out!
Use a virtual phone number to solve Amazon PIN verification issue
You can use the service called TextNow from the browser or using the TextNow official App/Software. I really recommended using the browser instead. Because you’ll also need a VPN service. Opera Browser is a good alternative choice because it has a free built-in VPN on it.
Why using a VPN? … because in some countries you’ll get a message “Service is unavailable in your country” so VPN is the only solution for this. Make sure you choose Europe in the VPN location settings. Below is an example of how to change the settings in Opera built-in VPN.
Choose to download the apps for your device if you want to use the app. Make sure you have a VPN service such as NordVPN to work with the TextNow app.
Next, you need to sign up for using TextNow, please go to TextNow sign up page here. When you’ve
You have to add a new number in order to use TexNow to receive or sent text and calling as well. You will
The application will automatically generate your virtual phone number, and you are all in-set now.
[Important!] write down on paper or copy and paste your new virtual phone number on TextEdit/Mac or notepad/Windows. To use it later for entering your new number on Amazon PIN verification pages.
Go to Amazon Affiliate Sign up pages to see if it works to solve Amazon phone PIN problem
I believe you already know the procedure on how to sign up for the
Make sure the TextNow app is still running! while you do this. And make sure you wear headphone or your PC/Mac speaker monitor are on.
So! at the Amazon PIN verification page section, which is the last section on the affiliate sign up process. What you have to do is just enter the US phone number you’ve got from your TextNow account. Now you know why I ask you to save the number earlier on TextEdit/Notepad.
[Important!] Make sure you only enter the number without () and – character.
Let the dialed number stay in +1. Then click on
Go to TextNow apps and click accept button to receive phone calls from Amazon. See screenshot.
A man with heavy-deep voice will ask you to confirm the PIN. You can choose to say it with Microphone or just easily type the PIN number in KeyPad in text now app interface. See picture below to open the virtual Phone KeyPad.
In the old version, the KeyPad will pop up! But In the new version of TextNow, the keypad will show on the right panel near the microphone icon. You better type your PIN number quickly!
When you’ve done type your PIN, the man with the heavy-deep-robotic voices will say Thanks to you. Then, in Amazon associates sign up page check the terms of the agreement and click the Finish button
Note and conclusion
But, this is just the beginning. If within 180 days you don’t refer customers and make 3 sales, your application will be rejected. The good news is, you still can request to join the

Hi
I have a problem with mi texnow number
213-4717108
Amazon error:”The number you have entered is invalid. Please enter a different phone number and try again.”
May you help me please?
Best regards
Raúl
Hi Mr. Raúl
The phone number format should include area code, for example: (424) 529-xxxx
(424) is the area code of California and the rest of the number is up to you. You can ask google for other US code area.
Hope this help ?
Hi, it’s me again. There is no number of Chicago +773 in the Amazon options as I got it from Google. And also it does not have an option +424. I can see only +420,+ 421,+423 in their options. What should I do?. How to change that numbers in their first column? Can you help me? Thank you in advance
Hi Tanja,
You can use any area beside of Chicago and no problem with that. Even if you are living in Chicago or not, it’s okay 🙂

Hi Umair!
Make sure you enter just the PIN number without click on Dial (Call button)

Hooray. I was able to do it as well from Slovenia. Had the same issues. Thanks man 😉
Hey no problem!
Congrats mate 🙂
Hi, I have the same problem. Should I need to change all the information I already met before the phone number itself? I mean the country and the postal address? thank you in advance
Hi!
No you shouldn’t have to, its not necessary. Unless you have a virtual/real US postal address.
Hi thank you, I followed your instructions and get some number for Chicago but it doesn’t allow me anyway. I got some number with 773 area but I can’t find it in the Amazons first square. Can you help me, please
Thank you so much. I finally did it.
Congrats! glad to hear that 🙂
Awesome, i was triying to sign up for a while, nothing worked until this.
Thanks
You’re welcome Allan, I am glad this helped.
Best!
I have been searching for 8 hours! It worked like a charm thanks.
Hi Burag,
You’re welcome 🙂
I install TextNow two times and deleted because it asks to purchase number from real money or to earn credit by buying things or apps…. please give the link which TextNow or any app used for free
Hi Pamila,
No is not. Unless you download it from other source.
Otherwise, I’ve give the link to the official site inside the article. Hope it help 🙂
Textnow is not available in my country (Caribbean). I tried your suggestion and downloaded Oprah – but still got the same problem: not available in my country. Any suggestions??
hahaha I meant Opera of course!
And, try use different devices too.
Hi Marielle,
Try use another VPN, it will do the trick.
Or set the different setting in Opera browser VPN.
