中文Temporary Phone Number for Wallapop
Updated 3 min read
Every new Wallapop account is confirmed by SMS before a listing or chat goes live, which means handing over a phone number to sell a used bike or sofa. A temporary virtual number from 5SIM covers that confirmation, arriving with an available Wallapop line whose SMS shows up in your dashboard while the order runs, no separate SIM needed.
Receive SMS online for Wallapop verification – Virtual Number for SMS Verification
Wallapop is a person-to-person marketplace built around local deals: someone lists a jacket, a sofa, or a used car, a buyer nearby messages them, and they meet up or arrange shipping through Wallapop Envíos. It started in Barcelona in 2013 and now counts more than 19 million monthly users, with Spain as the core market and Italy and Portugal as growth fronts.
Ownership changed at the start of 2026. Naver, the company behind that country's biggest search and commerce platforms, completed a buyout of the stake it did not already hold, taking Wallapop to full ownership in a deal valued around 600 million euros. The Barcelona headquarters and chief executive Rob Cassedy stay in place, and Naver has said it wants to build marketplace operations across Europe.
The app itself keeps a simple shape: a feed of nearby items, filters by category and distance, in-app chat, seller ratings, and a Pro tier for dealers and shops that list at volume. Saved searches send an alert when a matching item appears, and a shipping option covers goods too big or too far for a hand-off. Payment and shipping run inside the app, so a sale can close without swapping phone numbers.
Registration asks for a phone number, and Wallapop confirms it by SMS before listings and chats open, with email or a linked account as alternatives for the login itself. Someone who would rather keep messages from buyers and sellers off a personal line can register with an additional virtual number and read the SMS in a 5SIM order.
