2.7. Why Isn’t My SMS Verification Code Coming Through?

If you are not receiving the SMS verification code, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

1. IP and Location Match:

   • IP Match: Ensure your IP address matches the country of the number you’re using, especially if you’re on a VPN.
   • VPN or Proxy: Some platforms may block verification attempts if they detect IP discrepancies or location mismatches.

2. Digital Fingerprinting:

   • Use X-Browser: This tool allows you to create unique digital fingerprints, which can prevent your account from being flagged. Each profile created in X-Browser appears as a unique device, reducing the risk of account blocking.
   • Consider SmartProxy Integration: Pairing X-Browser with SmartProxy’s residential IPs provides an authentic browsing experience, helping to bypass IP or fingerprint detection blocks.

3. Retry or Regenerate: If issues persist, try generating a new number or submit a support ticket for further assistance. The support team can investigate and advise on additional troubleshooting steps specific to your platform
