SMS Phone number verification

My phone number that I want to appear when I send an SMS has already been verified - checking my account shows it so, but when I try and send an SMS today, a window pops saying I can add my phone number, then when I go to settings and it shows that my number needs verifying. Even when I send through the verification code, it makes no difference. This has not been a problem beofre in 2-3 years.

Sorry, I can't help, but the I'm getting the same thing (in case it adds weight to getting this fixed). And MS think it will get people to use this service?

  • X2-01 WhatsApp Mobile Phone Number Verification Pr...

    I'm using Nokia X2-01
    On sucsssfully downloading Whatsapp from Ovi store (and alternatively tried downloading through whatsapp.com site) on to my mobile by regular mobile internet (GPRS), and upon activating WhatsApp a verification screen appears [Verify you Phone Number], which asks for my mobile number. When I enter the mobile number and press 'OK', the screen displays: "Connecting" message. and then it shows this ERROR:  An unexpected error occured contacting the server: interrupted.
    Can somebody help me to solve this problem?

    Hi Fayazpgm
    Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia Support Discussions! 
    You can download WhatsApp and any other application that is compatible with your phone through Nokia Store. It's either using Nokia Store client in your phone or through this link: http://store.ovi.com/search?q=whatsApp

  • Unable to find the incoming SMS phone number - if ...

    Hi,
    It has become a serious problem for me, as it is not possible to find the phone number from which an SMS is received, in case the contact have more than one phone number registered. Did some one figured out how to differentiate the phone numbers in sms history? 

    Thank you for being very aggressive in addressing my concern.
    Yes. What you said applies to the most recent SMS received from a contact. Now the problem is with the older messages in the thread
    Sorry if I'm troubling too much. This is seriously a major concern for me, as very often, I have to go to the history of messages from a contact, and reply to them on the same number from which the message is received. 
    My N900 was doing good in this aspect.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Does a cellular-enabled iPad (4th gen) serve as a "SMS-capable phone number" for 2-part verification?

    Can I use my 4th gen iPad (WiFi+Cell) to supply a "SMS-capable phone number" for 2-part verification?

    No.  iPad does not SMS with or without Cellular.  There are 3rd party apps you can get that will, but they will assign a number to use.

  • What should I do if I no longer have access to the phone number that my iCloud keychain verification code is sent to?

    When I first turned in iCloud keychain I had no other Apple devises so I put in a phone number for it to send my verification number to. Then I had to delete that phone number but the iCloud keychain number is still saying it is going to send the verification number to that phone. How do I program in that that number is no longer active. Please help!!!!!

    Hello Conor T,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you do not have access to the phone number you set up for iCloud Keychain, you will need to contact Apple Support to complete setup on a new device.
    How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device if I don't have one of my other devices to approve from?
    If you can't access any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
    Your iCloud Security Code
    The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you can't access this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity, so that you can complete setup on your new device.
    After you complete the setup, your iCloud Keychain will be pushed from the cloud to the new device.

  • HT5961 I want to receive the verification code for the keychain but I was sent to unknown number because the last two digits do not represent my phone number

    I want to receive the verification code for the keychain but I was sent to unknown number because the last two digits do not represent my phone number, so how can I change it to receive it on my cell phone ?

    I found this in the iCloud Keychain FAQs:
    How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device if I don't have one of my other devices to approve from?
    If you don't have access to any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
    - Your iCloud Security Code
    - The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you don't have access to this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity so that you can complete setup on your new device.
    - If you have these items, follow the iCloud Keychain setup steps documented above. Your iCloud Keychain will then be pushed from the cloud to the new device.
    So it seems that you would have to directly contact the Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/

  • Phone doesn't accept SMS Code for phone number ver...

    I've tried to get a Skype support rep. to solve my problem with no positive results. I'm now turning to the skype Community for help.
    W want to have my phone number appear on the person's phone that I call. Skype says you can do this by setting up Called ID. They will send you a verrification code by SMS message. The problem is I have SMS messaging turned off on my phone, so it does not accept SMS messages, so I cannot receive the Verification Code.  Has anyone been able to get past this obsticle? Can they send me an email with the verification code?

    Sorry NMGuy,
    I cannot help, as I am in the same situation as you are, and am joining my voice to yours.
    I don't get SMS on my Iphone, so I cannot receive and enter the code for the caller ID option.
    Skype assumes that everybody uses SMS?, and it is very difficult to get in touch with their customer support!
    Anybody has a workaround?

  • Skype rejects my phone number on verification

    Skype rejects my phone number on verification. The number is correct.

    If you're talking about the phone number used for sms verification codes with iCloud keychain, the number can be changed as follows:
    iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.

  • Hello I send imessages to a phone number I receive delivery notice but sms does not show on receiving phone. Otherwise when receive imessage from other phone I reply and receiver sees SMS !!! Any explanation ?

    Hello I send imessages to a phone number I receive delivery notice but sms does not show on receiving phone. Otherwise when receive imessage from other phone I reply and receiver sees SMS !!! Any explanation ?

    To my knowledge, I've only seen this for imessage only and not SMS.
    The other users would need to have send read receipts enabled on their phone.

  • How do you stop sms messages automatically being sent to an email address instead of a phone number?

    I have noticed that sometimes (particularly when sending an sms to multiple people) my iphone 4s will send the message to peoples email addresses. This happens despite there being a phone number listed on the contact. You would have thought that an sms would automatically send to a phone number if there is one available for the contact, but instead it is sending the sms to an email address without warning. This results in me being charged for an mms and the recipient not recieving the text at their phone number. It happens when sending messages to both iphone users and non iphone users.
    Does anyone know a way of fixing this?

    I think its fixed. I had to sign iMessages in on my Apple ID, but then deselect my email addresses to make it behave the way it should. Now if I could get iMessage to only send response alerts to the last device I used, instead of late night texts going to every device I own in the house and waking everyone up.
    For some reason, the free iCloud address I automatically received (when Apple was trying to force people to leave Mac.com) is "hardwired" into iMessage. People were also getting texts from that address even though I was on my phone. I tried to delete it but iOS tells me I can't. I don't use that address, I won't ever use it, too bad I can't make it go away.

  • My iMessage is stuck on the wrong phone number and I keep getting coded text messages from SMS Info.

    I recently switched the sim card in my iPhone when I moved from one country to another. When I put my local sim card in iMessage would not activate (just staying on 'waiting for activation' forever). This has not been a problem before. When I went to send/receive I saw the phone number there is still on the old one from the country I left. This is not the case in phone settings when I look for 'my phone number' or in facetime, which recognise the new number.
    Plus I keep getting text messages from 'SMS Info'. They are just code, except that in there my new phone number is included among the code. The only other discernible characters are the letters 'REG-RESP?'. Perhaps this is something to do with an error in registering my new number.
    I have tried-
    1. Turning it off and on again.
    2. Turning iMessage off and on again. This results in the usual 'it may cost you to reactivate with an SMS' popup on my phone screen, then a popup saying there has been a mistake, then one of these coded SMS messages.
    3. Doing the above in combination with logging in and out of my apple id (as suggested on another forum post here)
    4. Removing the new sim card and replacing the old one. Then turning off iMessage, replacing the new sim card and turning iMessage back on (of course powering the phone down and up)
    None of these remedies have worked. The iMessage problem is affecting all sorts of my messages. Windows keep popping up saying that I may have to pay for an SMS to activate iMessage, except that it doesn't activate. The SMS messages from 'SMS Info' keep coming and I can't seem to get any of it to stop an just work normally.
    I have looked in these forums already and can't see the same problem elsewhere. If someone could figure this out I would be most grateful.

    Hi,
    When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
    I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
    I would contact Apple Support and check with them.  (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
    I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.

    My iPhone will not send an iMessage. It sends everything as SMS. I have ensured that my Apple ID is signed in and that my phone number is enabled for use in both FaceTime and iMessage

    I had the same problem. I went in and added my email address to iMessage and deleted the text to my friends that have iPhones and sent another to test it and it worked. Only thing is now my non iPhone friends don't receive my pic text. I had to turn off iMessage for it to work. Apple needs to fix this ASAP!
