How Instagram verification works
Instagram asks for SMS verification mainly when it suspects automation — new accounts from shared IPs, quick follow bursts, or business account conversions. For creators managing multiple accounts or developers testing integrations, a temporary number answers the checkpoint without burning a personal number.
Instagram checks whether a number is already linked to other Instagram accounts, and allows only a few per number. French and German mobile ranges are comparatively lightly used for Instagram on public SMS sites, which keeps their per-number account count low — that's why they verify more reliably than the obvious US choice.

Get SMS for Instagram — FAQ
Instagram keeps rejecting the code page — is the number blocked?
Usually the number already carries the maximum linked accounts. Switch to a fresher number; French or German ones typically have the fewest prior Instagram links.
Will my account be banned for using a temporary number?
The number alone doesn't ban accounts — behavior does. Verify, then add an email you control in settings so the account doesn't depend on a rotating number.
