How to Resolve Not Receiving Verification SMS

   • If full, delete unnecessary files or apps to create space.
5. Restart Your Mobile Device
   • Restarting can refresh your connection and fix temporary glitches.
6. Try an Alternate Device
   • Request the verification code on another mobile device to rule out hardware problems.
7. Check for Additional Requirements
   • For international SMS, ensure your mobile account has sufficient balance, as some services charge for incoming messages.
8. Contact BITGP Support
   • If all steps fail, submit a webform request with your account details via BITGP Support for assistance.
