Check whether phone sign-up is actually offered
Reddit's current documentation offers phone registration only in eligible locations. Look for Continue with phone number on your own screen before deciding that you need an SMS order. Google, Apple or email may be the available route. Choosing a stocked number country does not automatically enable phone sign-up in your interface.
A code for email registration arrives in your inbox, not in the SMS order. Choose your username carefully during creation: Reddit says it cannot be changed once selected. A delivered text cannot make that choice for you or establish compliance with community rules.

Plan changes while you still control the number
Phone settings are under General on the website and Basic Settings in the native apps. Reddit explicitly says that without access to the associated number, you cannot update or delete it. Removing a phone number also requires an email address on the account. Consider these requirements before a short order ends.
An account using Google or Apple single sign-on without a password may not show the option to add a phone number. Inspect your account's settings and official guidance rather than treating a missing option as a stock problem. For an account you intend to keep, continued access to your number and inbox matters.
Compare quotes for the route you can use
The table shows Reddit offers, not a list of countries guaranteed eligible for phone registration. Read the United States and United Kingdom guidance if useful, then confirm Reddit, the live pool and final price in the picker.
Continue in your inbox when the screen requests an email code. For an actual phone-SMS request, check the country code, full number, request stage and order status separately. This helps avoid buying for the wrong channel and supports the proper recovery route for an account you already own.
