## Why Isn't the SMS Arriving: Complete Troubleshooting Guide



Having trouble receiving verification messages? This guide covers the most common causes when the **SMS doesn't arrive** on your phone and how to fix them quickly.

### The Most Common Reasons

**Platform Geographical Restrictions**

Some phone numbers from unsupported countries or regions may be temporarily blocked from receiving verification messages via SMS. If you're in an area with limited coverage, contact Customer Support to verify service availability.

**Security Apps Blocking Messages**

If you have antivirus or security software installed on your phone, they may be automatically filtering messages. The solution is simple: open your antivirus app, locate the SMS blocking feature, temporarily disable it, and request the code again.

**Issues with the SMS Center**

Congestion or technical failures with your SMS provider can cause delays in delivery or prevent messages from arriving. In these cases, wait a while and try again, or contact your provider to confirm if there are network issues.

**Too Frequent Requests**

Repeatedly clicking the "Get code" button within a short period activates spam protection, blocking new attempts. Recommendation: wait at least 15 minutes before making a new request and click the button only once.

**Weak or No Cell Signal**

Lack of data connection or very weak signal prevents SMS delivery. Find a location with better reception and try again.

### Other Common Barriers

In addition to the issues above, also consider:

- **Insufficient balance** in your carrier account
- **Full phone storage**, preventing new messages
- **SMS marked as spam** or in the junk folder — check these folders before assuming it didn't arrive

For these cases, recharge your credit, free up storage space, check spam folders, and try again.

### Final Resort

If after trying all the above solutions the SMS still doesn't arrive, you may have added our sender to your phone's block list. In this case, contact Customer Support online — the team can help identify the specific problem and find an alternative verification method.
