Why Am I Not Receiving Your SMS Verification Code? Complete Troubleshooting Guide

Not receiving SMS verification codes can be frustrating when you’re trying to access your account or process a withdrawal. This issue often stems from a few common culprits. Below is a comprehensive guide to help you resolve the problem and get your SMS verification code delivered successfully.

Check Your Device First

Your smartphone itself might be preventing the SMS from arriving. A full SMS inbox is one of the most overlooked reasons - when your message storage is full, new SMS messages cannot be delivered. Start by clearing out old or unnecessary text messages to free up space.

Next, restart your phone completely. This simple action often refreshes your connection and can resolve temporary glitches preventing message receipt. Also verify that your device isn’t running a security program or antivirus app that might be silently blocking incoming SMS messages in the background. Traders experiencing this issue may want to temporarily turn off such security applications during the verification process.

Verify Your Network Connection & Carrier Status

A weak or unstable network signal is another common culprit. Poor telco connectivity directly impacts SMS delivery - ensure you have reliable signal strength before attempting to receive your verification code. Move to a location with better coverage if needed.

Contact your telecommunications provider to confirm your mobile account status. Sometimes accounts get suspended, blocked, or restricted for various reasons that prevent incoming SMS delivery. Your telco can verify whether your plan is active and capable of receiving messages. This is an important step that many users overlook.

Try a Hardware Solution

If you’re using a dual-SIM smartphone, try switching your SIM card to a different slot. Alternatively, insert your current SIM card into another smartphone and attempt to receive the SMS verification code again. This helps determine whether the issue is device-specific or carrier-related.

When to Seek Additional Support

If you’ve tried all the above steps and still aren’t receiving your SMS verification code, it’s time to escalate the issue. Submit a support request through the help center form and make sure to include your UID so our support team can investigate your account specifically.

The combination of these troubleshooting steps should resolve most SMS verification code delivery issues. Start with device-level fixes, progress to network verification, and contact support if problems persist.
