foodpanda verifies accounts by SMS across its many Asian and Middle Eastern markets, and sends order confirmations and rider-arrival texts to the registered number. A number that stays valid for years suits an app most people keep using long after installing it.

Why a permanent number suits foodpanda
Order confirmations always land
Every order sends a confirmation and status text — a stable number keeps that channel open every time you order.
Match the country your account was created in
foodpanda operates market by market; a number in the right country avoids mismatches with your delivery address history.
Recovery works whenever you need it
Dormant accounts can still recover by SMS as long as the registered number is still yours.
How foodpanda verification works
Delivery and ride apps such as foodpanda rely on your phone number to link your account to orders, to let drivers contact you and to send trip or delivery updates. Verification by SMS happens at signup and when you log in on a new device.
Because the number is used for real-world logistics, it needs to be one you can actually receive messages on, in the country where you use the service.
Who this is for: Travellers and residents who want a local number for one market, and drivers or couriers who keep app accounts separate from a personal phone.

Using VNumbr with foodpanda: what to expect
A VNumbr number is a permanent line allocated on a real mobile network and assigned to your account. You choose the country, pick a monthly or yearly plan and pay in cryptocurrency or from your wallet balance. Once payment is confirmed the number is activated automatically, and every text message sent to it, including a verification code from foodpanda, appears in your dashboard inbox in real time.
The number stays yours for as long as you keep it renewed. You can switch on auto-renew from your wallet balance so it never lapses, which matters for foodpanda because sign-in checks and account recovery can ask for a fresh code months or years after you first registered. Yearly plans work out cheaper per month, and the price shown across the site is always that lower per-month figure.
Your privacy matters to us. VNumbr does not share your data with third parties or with the mobile network operator, and the messages in your inbox are visible only to you. If you want the most private checkout available, pay through one of the cryptocurrency gateways. Card and PayPal payments are planned for a later release. If anything looks wrong with an order, open a ticket from the Support page or email [email protected] and we will help.
