Getir is a food and grocery delivery app that operates exclusively in Turkey. Up until May 2024, the service was available in many European and Middle Eastern countries, but it has been closing its operations outside of Turkey since the end of 2022 gradually reducing its international presence. However, it is still hugely popular locally with 81 Turkish cities covered by the service.
Creating a Getir account is not a big issue, but it may require some troubleshooting on your side if you don’t live in the country. Tourists and people on business trips may buy a virtual phone number for Getir from Grizzly SMS and enjoy the app without any limitations. When in Turkey, you don’t have to use a VPN or separate apps to use it!
Why should you use temporary phone numbers for Getir?
The application requires all its users to confirm the phone number to complete the registration. The form pops up on the first launch. While you don’t need the number to communicate with couriers or confirm orders, it is still required to verify your account.
Here are reasons to use virtual phone numbers for Getir’s SMS verification procedure:
- User data safety. In March 2023, Getir and BiTaksi suffered a massive data breach leaking the personal information of over 1 million platform users. If you don’t want your credentials to be exposed just like that, buy a temporary phone number from Turkey on the Grizzly SMS platform and enjoy privacy and anonymity.
- Creating multiple accounts. If you have a large family or arrive in Turkey with coworkers, it is a good idea to have several accounts so everyone can order food and groceries separately. The Grizzly SMS website allows users to buy as many virtual phone numbers as they need with no questions asked.
- Enjoy the authentic experience. Many apps may treat foreigners differently. Since many of them are tourists and businessmen, they are expected to spend more than locals. You can avoid this type of soft discrimination by creating an authentic account using a fake Turkish phone number for Getir.
How to receive an SMS verification code for Getir
It is quite easy to make a new Getir account even if you live outside of Turkey. The app offers multiple types of services like fast food delivery, online shopping, water ordering, taxis, and more.
Here’s a short step-by-step guide for making a Getir account without a phone number:
- Go to the official Grizzly SMS website and log in.
- Top up your balance if you don’t have enough to buy a number.
- Search for “Getir” in the Service Selection menu on the left side of the page.
- Search for “Turkey” in the Country Selection menu below and click “GET”.
- In the Received Numbers section of the website, copy the phone number.
- Go to the official Getir website and paste the code in the field on the main page.
- Click “Continue with Phone Number” and wait for the code.
- When the code arrives, it is displayed in the Received Numbers section.
- Paste the code in the field on the website and click “Approve and Login”.
It may take some time for the SMS verification code to be delivered. The Grizzly SMS website allows users to wait for up to twenty minutes for the code. If you did not receive it within that time frame, the purchase is automatically canceled and fully refunded so that you may try again with a different number.
If you need to make an account for any online service, you can buy a temporary phone number for SMS verification from over 100 countries on the Grizzly SMS website and register in any app including Getir, BiTaxi, and many others!
