Thursday already has your face and ID — keep your phone number out of it
Thursday's identity verification collects a government-issued ID and a live selfie to confirm you're a real person. That's a lot of personal data tied to one account. Adding your personal phone number creates one more link between your dating profile and your real identity.
- •Thursday requires a government ID and liveness selfie during signup — your real identity is already attached to the account
- •Phone numbers are contact-level data — if a match or a data breach exposes your number, it is directly reachable
- •Thursday activates only on Thursdays — if you lose access to your associated number mid-week, you wait a full seven days to recover
- •Thursday is expanding rapidly in US cities — your account may face re-verification as the platform scales its identity checks
JoltSMS provides real-SIM numbers for legitimate Thursday account verification. Respect Thursday's community guidelines and terms of service.

- Real-SIM numbers from US carrier networks — treated like a normal cell phone
- Privacy protection — your personal number is never part of your Thursday profile
- Long-term rental — the same number available every week when Thursday activates
- Instant SMS delivery to your JoltSMS dashboard, with Slack, Discord, or email alerts
