How to Change Your Phone Number on Uber

In the Uber app, open Account › Settings, tap your name, edit the phone number and confirm the code. The change covers Uber Eats too.

Steps in the Uber app

1. Open Uber and tap Account.
2. Go to Settings and tap your name or profile.
3. Tap the phone number and enter the new one.
4. Enter the code Uber texts to the new number.

Uber Eats uses the same account, so the new number works in both apps.

Why it matters

Calls and texts with drivers and couriers are masked, so they do not see your real number.

Number already registered

If Uber says the number is on another account, you may have an old account, or the number belonged to someone else before. See Uber number already registered.

Lost the old number

If you cannot receive codes on the old number, try signing in with your email. If Uber still asks for the old number, contact Uber support from the help pages and explain that you changed numbers.

Drivers and couriers

Driver and courier accounts change their number in the Uber Driver app under account settings, or through support. Identity checks may be needed before the change is approved.

Codes not arriving

• Check the country code.
• Wait before requesting another code.
• Look in filtered or spam texts.
• Try Wi-Fi and mobile data in turn.

Keep the account safe

Uber never calls asking for the code it sends you. Anyone asking for it is trying to take over your account and any saved payment methods or Uber Cash.

After changing, sign out and back in once to confirm codes reach the new phone before you stop using the old SIM. If you decide to leave Uber instead, see cancelling an Uber account.

Trip receipts and messages

Drivers contact riders through an anonymised number, so your real number is not shown to them. Keeping the number on your Uber account current makes sure these calls and texts reach you during a trip.
