A Medium phone number for verification is a United States mobile number that receives the Medium SMS code for you, so your own number stays private. Medium is a publishing platform for writers to share articles and stories.
Medium asks for a phone number during account creation or when enabling security features, sending a code via SMS. SNSPhone numbers are real US carrier numbers, not VoIP, and one Medium verification costs $0.30 with a 20 minute window and an automatic refund if no code arrives.

Step by step
The whole job takes about two minutes once your account has credit. Here is every step, from signup to a secured Medium account.
Press Sign up. Your browser makes an access token; save it as a file or copy it. No email or phone number is needed.
Open Credits and top up with USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL or LTC. The minimum is $30 ($20 in lower-income countries), and the first top-up from $100 gets a bonus.
Open New verification, pick Medium and confirm. A US mobile number shows at once, with a 20 minute window.
Choose United States (+1) in the Medium form and type the 10 digits. Ask Medium to send the code by SMS, not by a call.
The SMS shows in your console within moments, with the code picked out and a copy button. The page refreshes by itself.
Type the code into Medium, then add your own email or an authenticator app in the Medium settings so later sign-ins do not depend on the number.
Ask Medium to send the code again from its own screen. If nothing arrives in the 20 minute window, the verification closes and the full price returns to your credit by itself.
Cancel the verification while it is waiting: the full price comes back at once. Start a new one and you get a different US number.
Press Another code in the console and ask the service to send a new SMS. It reaches the same number inside the window, free.
A verification number is not yours after 20 minutes, so add your own email or an authenticator app to the account before the window ends.
