Celebrity Phone Numbers That Actually Work (Checked October 2026)

Most lists of celebrity phone numbers were written in 2019 or 2020, and many numbers on them no longer work. The numbers below do. Each one is an official fan text line, and each was checked on 29 October 2026 against the celebrity’s own signup page on Community, the texting platform most stars use. They reach the celebrity’s team and fan list, not a personal phone.

A newer option skips the phone number entirely. Billie Eilish, Bruno Mars, and others now run fan channels on Apple Messages for Business, which open in the Messages app on iPhone with the artist’s name and photo instead of a number. Those are listed further down.

How We Checked These Numbers

Every celebrity on Community has a signup page at my.community.com followed by their name. That page lists the official number for their text line. We pulled each number from that page on 29 October 2026 and left out any celebrity whose page was missing or didn’t show a number. If a number in another list doesn’t match the celebrity’s Community page, don’t text it.

Musicians’ Official Text Numbers

Community pages: Backstreet Boys, Bebe Rexha, Billie Eilish, Brad Paisley, Bruno Mars, Chance the Rapper, Dua Lipa, ILLENIUM, John Legend, Jon Batiste, Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber, Lil Nas X, Lorde, Luke Combs, Megan Moroney, Paul McCartney, Post Malone, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Burney Sisters.

Actors, Comedians, and Public Figures

Celebrities You Can Message Without a Phone Number

Some artists now run their fan channel on Apple Messages for Business as well as SMS. There is no number to save: the link or QR code opens a conversation in the Messages app, showing the artist’s name and photo. It works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac only. Each listing below has the official link and our sources.

Billie Eilish: an official fan channel run by her team through Community. Her SMS line above reaches the same fan list.

Bruno Mars: fans at The Romantic Tour scan an on-screen QR code to join in Messages. An automated assistant then sends interactive messages, including Apple Music links.

The Burney Sisters: the indie-folk duo Community uses to demo its Apple Messages experience. If you open their link on a device that doesn’t support it, you land on their Community signup page instead.

TGR Haas F1 Team: RaceMate, an AI fan companion with race schedules, results, driver standings, quizzes, and merch try-ons. It runs on Apple Messages, WhatsApp, and RCS.

What Happens When You Text a Celebrity

You won’t get a personal reply straight away. Texting a Community number triggers an automated message with a link to add yourself to that celebrity’s contacts. The signup page asks for your phone number and a few basic details. After that you get updates from the celebrity’s team: tour dates, releases, merch drops, and the occasional direct message. Oprah Daily and CNN both found the same pattern: the star can message everyone at once, a city on tour, or a single fan, but most of the conversation runs one way.

These are text lines, not phone lines. Alexandra Kay’s site, for example, notes that her Community number can’t take calls and costs nothing beyond your normal texting rates. All the numbers above are US numbers, so texting from abroad may count as an international text on your plan. Text STOP to any of them to unsubscribe.

How to Spot a Fake Celebrity Number

A real fan line appears in the celebrity’s verified social bio or on their my.community.com page, and its first reply links to community.com. Be wary of any number that isn’t on either. A real fan line never asks for money, gift cards, passwords, or a verification code. Anyone claiming to be a celebrity who asks for those is running a scam, whatever number they text from.

Celebrities also retire numbers. For several stars on the 2020 lists, including Amy Schumer and Ashton Kutcher, we couldn’t find a current Community page, so their numbers are left out here.

Why Artists Are Adding Apple Messages

In June 2024, Community partnered with Infobip, an Apple-authorized Messaging Service Provider, to bring Apple Messages for Business to fan messaging. An SMS line shows up as a 10-digit number. In Apple Messages, the conversation shows the artist’s verified name and photo, and supports buttons, pickers, and rich media.

Apple’s own Messages for Business documentation now lists fan experiences and subscriptions as an entertainment use case, including Apple Music links that play inside the conversation. Brands are making the same move from SMS to richer channels; see how Apple Messages for Business compares with RCS and how brands use Apple Messages for Business.
