How to Sign Up for Threads Without a Phone Number: an in-depth guide for August 2025

Threads by Meta in 2025 is still not a stand-alone platform; it’s an Instagram extension—yep, still. And even though many folks keep saying “you need a phone, otherwise no entry,” that’s a myth. You can join Threads with zero phone number attached—you just have to know the trick.

That’s exactly what you’ll get below. No fluff. Only what works today, right now, August 2025.

Threads with no phone? Yep, totally real

As of August 2025, Threads needs no separate sign-up flow. All you need is an Instagram or Facebook account. If that account was created with just an e-mail—no phone on file—you slide straight into Threads. Here’s what the process (let’s call it Flow A) looks like:
  1. Create an Instagram account using only e-mail (skip the phone step).
  2. Download the Threads app (iOS / Android).
  3. Tap “Log in with Instagram.” Boom—you’re inside.
Flow A works in most regions unless Instagram demands SMS verification. Sometimes it still does. Why?

When Instagram asks for a number (and how to dodge it)

Instagram still insists on SMS in a few situations:

  • you register from a suspicious IP;
  • you spin up many accounts back-to-back;
  • you use an emulator or odd device;
  • Meta flags possible spam or “farming.”
That’s when Flow B—powered by a virtual number from a trusted service—comes to the rescue.

How to register for Threads with a virtual number (Flow B)

If Instagram suddenly wants a number, don’t freak out. Just do this:

  1. Head to https://smsbower.org and sign up.
  2. Top up your balance (all numbers are paid, short-term only).
  3. Choose a country and Instagram as the service.
  4. Grab the virtual number and plug it into the Instagram form.
  5. When Instagram sends the code, it shows up in your SMSBOWER dashboard.
  6. Enter the code, finish registration—and that’s it. Welcome to Threads.
Afterward you can safely detach the number or just let it expire—SMSBOWER doesn’t do long-term rentals, so it won’t linger forever.

Perfect if you:

  • want a second Threads account;
  • refuse to expose your personal number;
  • juggle multiple accounts with automation tools.

Need e-mail, not a number?

Fair ask. Meta usually wants a phone, but some services ask for e-mail—or you simply don’t want to reveal your main inbox.

SMSBOWER has you covered: paid temporary Gmail addresses at https://smsbower.org/temporaryMail#mail. Same idea:
  1. Visit the page.
  2. Pick Gmail plus a country.
  3. Receive a fresh mailbox for activation.
  4. Use it to confirm your account.
In a hurry? Grab the free temporary mail at https://smsbower.org/freeMail—no sign-up needed, just open and go.

Why bother with anonymity in Threads?

People ask: “Why all the hassle? Why hide the number?”

Plenty of reasons:

  • Digital hygiene—you don’t want your real phone splashed across ad dashboards, APIs, or leaks.
  • Extra accounts—running brand pages, testing content, or doing SMM.
  • Spam & phish shield—many profiles get shady DMs once a phone is tied in.
Meta in 2025 clearly states: a phone is optional unless you enable SMS-based two-factor authentication. You can swap SMS for an authenticator app or backup codes instead.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need a phone number to sign up for Threads?

No, if you already have an Instagram / Facebook account made with just e-mail.

What if Instagram still asks for a number?

Use a virtual number from SMSBOWER (https://smsbower.org/services). It’s legal, fast, and handy.

Can I reuse the same virtual number?

No. SMSBOWER supplies one-time numbers only—safer, no duplicates.

What if I want multiple Threads accounts?

Each account needs a unique e-mail and (if Meta insists) phone number. Use virtual numbers plus free mail from SMSBOWER (https://smsbower.org/freeMail).

Can Instagram ban me for using a virtual number?

Unlikely, as long as you follow platform rules. The number is merely an entry ticket—account fate depends on your behavior.

A final word—eyes on tomorrow

Threads in 2025 is less a “new” network and more an Instagram mirror. If Meta offers a loophole for phone-less entry—why not take it?

The question isn’t can you dodge phone binding, but how to do it smoothly and safely. Tools like SMSBOWER (https://smsbower.org) turn the chore into a one-minute task—no headaches, no risk to your primary number.

Tomorrow? Meta may scrap phone verification entirely as a relic. Until then—know the moves. And use them smart.
