Waymo UK phone number

Question

Has anyone been able to sign up to Waymo with a UK phone number?

We can’t get passed the point in the app of putting our number

Answer

Waymo currently operates primarily in the United States, and its app is designed for U.S.-based phone numbers. As a result, UK phone numbers are generally not supported in the registration process. This is why you are unable to get past the point of entering your phone number in the app.

Some important points to note:

The app requires a U.S. number to verify your account via SMS, and international numbers typically won’t pass this verification.
Waymo accounts are also tied to U.S. addresses because the service is limited to specific operational areas in the U.S., such as San Francisco and Phoenix.

Options for someone trying to sign up from the UK:

If you have a friend or family member in the U.S., you could potentially use their U.S. number to complete the verification process. However, the app may still require you to be physically in a supported Waymo service area to book rides.
Some travelers temporarily use U.S. SIM cards while visiting the country. Purchasing a U.S. SIM card with texting capability could allow you to register and use the app during your stay.
Unfortunately, without a U.S. number, it is currently not possible to sign up or use the app from the UK.

In summary, the Waymo service and app are strictly limited to U.S. phone numbers and regions, so you will need a U.S.-based number to register and use it.
