You say that you never got an SMS but: - You tried to verify your number only once. - The status of the SMS sent to you is DELIVERED. So can you explain why you decided to create this thread? …

I have recently started not to receive the text any more whenever I am asked for the 6 digit code sent. Haven't had an issue up until a couple days ago. E-mail works fine, though - I can use that until SMS is sorted!
For some people it is more convenient to have a code sent to their phone, but if you have MFA on your email turned on then it can be just as secure.

You say that you never got an SMS but:
- You tried to verify your number only once.
- The status of the SMS sent to you is DELIVERED.
So can you explain why you decided to create this thread? Why not try at least one more time before post it here? Thanks.

Mentions: Not getting sms
tried again still waiting
Any updates? Is the issue still reproduced?
We have added support of authenticators like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy etc. It's recommended to set up it with your Torn account and use it instead of SMS as it is the quickest, easiest and most secure and reliable method of two-factor authentication.

Closing the report.
