To access tickets for an event, some platforms require you to verify your account via SMS in addition to a validation email. If you do not receive the verification SMS, here are some tips to resolve it:
General Tips
- Correct number format: Make sure you have entered your number in the correct format, including the country code. For example, a Spanish number should be entered as +34 followed by the number (+34 6XX...). If your country does not appear in the dropdown menu, select “Other” and enter the number.
- Change device or carrier: Try another mobile phone associated with a different telecom provider. Sometimes, telecom operators block certain SMS messages. If you are traveling, you can ask someone with a US or Canadian number to receive the SMS.
- Browse in incognito mode: Access the platform from a private window or incognito mode of your browser.
- Verify your number: Check that you have correctly entered your phone number, including the international prefix.
- Resend the code: Select the “Resend code” option on the verification screen.
- Give it time: Sometimes, the SMS may take a little while to arrive. Be patient and wait a few minutes.
Check your phone settings
For iOS (iPhone) users:
- Unblock contacts: Go to Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification and check blocked numbers.
- Disable unknown sender filter: Go to Settings > Messages and turn off the "Filter Unknown Senders" option.
For Android users:
- Check the spam folder: In your messaging app, check if the message is in the spam or blocked folder.
- Messaging app settings: Make sure you do not have active filters that classify messages as spam.
Additional solutions
- “Do Not Disturb” mode: Make sure you do not have “Do Not Disturb” mode activated, as it could block SMS notifications.
- Enable roaming: If you are traveling, enable roaming and make sure mobile data is included in your plan.
- Restart your phone: Turn your phone off and on again, then request the code again.
- Refresh the screen: Refresh your device’s screen and request a new code.
Use of e-SIM:
If you are using an eSIM, you must temporarily deactivate it and activate the SIM corresponding to your country of origin. It is important to perform this step while connected to a wifi network, otherwise you could incur high charges. Once the eSIM is deactivated, you should receive the verification code.
