You should put in your phone number. VS. You should input your phone number.

Question

You should put in your phone number. VS. You should input your phone number.

I think that either one is okay to use for the same meaning. What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as always.

I think they can have different meanings. For instance, "When they pass the basket, you should put in your phone number.'

Thank you, but my teach says "put in" there for the meaning of "press". Then it should be "input" if it means "press" number things?

No, that is not a necessary distinction.  'Input' is a computer word, actually, but they could mean the same thing.

You should put in your phone number. VS. You should input your phone number.
