Not receiving verification texts --NOT using DIGITS
- Hace 6 años
Hey everyone! We see that this post is still getting some views and we want to make the resolution to this issue more visible so I am going to mark this answer correct and it will be displayed at the very top of the thread.
For this specific issue, there are a few things we will need to check on the account side to ensure there is nothing preventing you from receiving these kinds of verification short codes. Some things like your specific rate plan or even a blocking feature on your line may be causing this issue and that is a very simple fix.
If there is no apparent reason you should not be receiving these verification texts or short codes, we have a process in place to notify our engineering teams via a trouble ticket so that we can take a closer look at the back end of the network to see where the hang up is.
The most common issue is a blocking feature that is on your specific line, this feature can be removed entirely so that all your verification texts come through. Now I know what you are thinking, "if everything is open, then anyone can send me short codes." That is true but we also have the ability to black list specific short codes so that you can still receive your verification text messages but keep the bad ones at bay.
With all of that said, we do need access to your account in order to visually audit what the root of the issue is and here on a public community forum, we unfortunately do not have a secure way of verifying you. Never fear though, you can always reach out to us over the phone or on Facebook/Twitter (using the links in my signature) and our experts can get you all taken care of.
I have always had problems getting verification texts and One Time Codes from most places. Some places have an email option and I use that when available. Today I'm trying to set up my new Alexa Show and NO AMAZON ONE TIME CODE! And they don't have obvious email option. The list of non-received codes is long: Google, Gmail, AOL, Costco, Discover Card, American Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, Amazon, Paypal, Navy Federal Credit Union, United Airlines, United Federal Credit Union, Dominion Energy, Nevada Power, Langley Fed Credit Union, Samsung, Apple, . The only ones I seem to get are T-Mobile's and SPAM! WOW. I have 7 lines on my account - and have had T-Mobile since early 2000s (with a US Army account) and this account since 2012. Never had this problem until about 2017 - thought it was lack of signal in my house - SMS doesn't use Wi-Fi. Phone calls to TMO have not helped either but not called recently! Digits DOES get some verification texts - but only same ones as my phone itself. AYUDA
