Amazon Number - For the Sign-Up, or for Every Sign-In
An Amazon account holds your addresses, your order history and your saved payment methods, and Amazon asks for an SMS code whenever you sign in from a device it does not recognise. A one-time number receives that first code and is deleted about ten minutes later - enough to register, and nothing after it. Think twice before pointing Amazon's two-step verification at a number you do not intend to keep: if a subscription goes unpaid past its grace period, the number can be released to another user, and the codes go with it.

Codes go where you are
Every incoming SMS to a permanent number is forwarded automatically to the destination you choose. A one-time number shows its code in your dashboard instead.
Call forwarding is a different number type: a voice number takes incoming calls and passes them to the destination you choose. Voice numbers in the dashboard
Why use a virtual number for Amazon
Amazon asks for phone verification when creating an account and again for two-step verification on many purchases, so an Amazon virtual number is a practical way to sign up without linking your personal number, particularly for sellers running a separate seller account from their personal shopping profile. Amazon SMS verification through a virtual number works exactly like it would with a real SIM - the code arrives, you confirm it, and the account is ready to buy or sell. Anyone who wants to register Amazon without a phone number tied to their main identity can use the same process. Since an Amazon account, especially a seller account, is a long-term thing, a permanent number is generally the smarter pick over a one-time number.
Which country to choose for Amazon
Amazon operates separate marketplaces per region, and a seller account is usually tied to a specific Amazon marketplace, so for an Amazon virtual number used for selling, it's worth matching the number's country to the marketplace you're registering for rather than picking at random. For a simple buyer account or a one-off signup, any supported country in the table below works fine, since Amazon doesn't check that a buyer's verification number matches their shipping address. Seller accounts benefit from a permanent number and, where available, a non-VoIP option, since Amazon's seller verification is considerably stricter than standard buyer signup and tends to favor carrier numbers over virtual-only ones.
