"This phone number is already registered"
Temu ties one account permanently to each phone number — including accounts that were deleted or banned. If the virtual number was used by a previous SIM holder on Temu, the binding persists. Shared free-inbox numbers hit this error almost every time.
Cancel the current number on VirtualSMS for a full refund. Get a fresh number from a different country. UK, German, and Polish numbers have the lowest prior-association rate in our fleet for Temu. Don't retry the same number — the binding is permanent on Temu's side.
