Verification code not arriving by text message
Text message delivery can be delayed or blocked. Wait 2–3 minutes first and check your spam folder. If nothing arrives, try a different delivery method like a phone call or authenticator app. Most accounts let you choose how to get the code.
SMS delivery is not instant and sometimes messages get delayed or blocked by your phone network. If you've waited a few minutes and checked spam, try requesting the code through a different method. Most services offer phone call, email, or authenticator app options.
- ✓Make sure your phone has signal — check the bars at the top of your screen

- ✓Keep the login or verification page open on your screen — you'll need to enter the code as soon as it arrives
