If you did not receive your verification code or One-Time Password (OTP) via SMS, it could be due to 2 reasons:
1. Network or connectivity issues
Try the following steps below :
- Restart your phone
- Enable/disable your airplane mode
- For dual sim phones, you can try changing the default telecom carriers
- Use an alternative mobile number that's not connected to any Shopee account and is not your current service provider.
- If you have no alternative number, kindly contact your service provider for further checking.
- Check that your phone line signal is full.
- Resend a verification code.
- Switch off your mobile phone, remove and reinsert your SIM card, and switch on your phone again. Then, make another request for a verification code.
⚠️Note
- Receiving OTP depends on your network/telecom traffic.
- Make sure you have verified your mobile number to receive a verification code.
- If you still do not receive the OTP after trying the steps above, please try basic troubleshooting techniques.
- If you still do not receive the OTP after trying both steps provided above and basic troubleshooting, you may have reached the maximum request limit.
