How do you dial a London number?
Inside the UK, dial 020 followed by the local number. From abroad, drop the leading zero and dial +4420 followed by the local number — so a caller in the US dials 011 4420 and then the rest. DialAnyone's rate deck carries 208 billable routing prefixes under this code.
Do I need to live in London to get the number?
No. The number is virtual — it lives in your account rather than on a SIM, so you can hold and use it from any country. UK numbers do require a one-time identity verification with the local carrier before activation, which is a regulatory requirement in the UK rather than a DialAnyone rule.
Can a London number receive SMS verification codes?
Yes. UK numbers support SMS, and because the number is private to you rather than shared on a public receive-SMS site, codes from banks, marketplaces and apps generally arrive. Some services block all internet-based numbers, so delivery is not guaranteed for every sender.
