Receive SMS online for Glovo verification – Virtual Number for SMS Verification
Glovo started in Barcelona with a promise other delivery apps avoided: you could ask for anything. Not just a meal from a listed restaurant, but medicine from a pharmacy, a charger from an electronics shop, a bunch of flowers, or a forgotten set of keys carried across town. The courier goes and buys it. That open-ended category is still the thing regulars use most, and it explains why the app took hold in cities where a purely restaurant-shaped product would have stalled.
Around it grew the conventional business: restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies and its own small warehouses, spread across southern and eastern Europe, Africa and beyond. Delivery Hero bought the company and kept the brand, and Glovo became one of the group's largest assets rather than a name to be folded into something else.
2026 is splitting it in two. Uber agreed on 16 July to acquire Delivery Hero for 14.8 billion dollars, a deal that would stretch its platform across 99 countries. Because Uber Eats and Glovo already compete head to head in several markets, regulators required a carve-out, and Glovo's operations in Spain, Portugal, Poland, Romania and Moldova go to the investment firm SSW Partners as part of a 14-market package worth around 1.4 billion euros. Glovo Morocco, where no such overlap exists, goes to Uber. Completion is expected in the second half of 2027, and Uber has committed to keeping the Berlin headquarters and its workforce until at least 2029.
Ordering confirms a phone number by SMS. On an app built around couriers buying things for you, the number matters more than usual: the courier rings to ask which brand of paracetamol the pharmacy actually has, or which entrance a courtyard building uses, and arrival alerts and offer campaigns follow. Take the confirmation on an additional number and that traffic keeps its own line. It reaches you inside your 5SIM order, while your addresses, favourites and order history stay in Glovo.
How to buy a virtual phone number for Glovo
Pick Glovo from the service list on 5SIM. The countries currently holding numbers for it load next. Choose one and the operators serving that country and service pairing appear.
Every operator line carries price, available quantity and SMS delivery rate together. Weigh all three rather than sorting on price. Low stock behind a weak recent rate usually means a second attempt, which costs more than the cheaper line saved.
Your number lands in the active order as soon as you buy. Enter it in the Glovo phone field, request the SMS, and the message arrives in that same order window. Orders stay live for roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
If nothing comes through, cancel the unused active order and the payment returns to your 5SIM balance right away. An unused order left to expire refunds on its own.
