I'm seeing the error message "We are unable to send an SMS to your number"

Sometimes, we can't send out an SMS to phone numbers for security reasons.

This can happen if you requested 2-step verification too many times, or because of our internal verification checks for your number.

What if I didn't get an SMS?

If we couldn't send an SMS to your number, you can use another method:

  1. Select Try another way

  2. Then complete your 2-step verification using WhatsApp, Voice, or other methods available to you
