I am not receiving an SMS verification code

Troubleshoot why you are not receiving SMS verification codes from Digital Surge and learn the steps to ensure important security messages are delivered successfully.

If you’re not receiving an SMS verification code from Digital Surge, there are a few common reasons this can happen.

SMS codes are only sent when you initiate certain sensitive actions on your account, such as:

  • Completing a withdrawal

  • Enabling or updating two-factor authentication (2FA)

  • Creating or managing an API key

  • Confirming specific security changes

If the code is not entered successfully, the requested action will not be completed.

This guide will help you troubleshoot the issue before contacting support.


Using an authenticator app instead of SMS?

If you have enabled two-factor authentication (2FA) using an authenticator app, your verification code will be generated in that app instead of being sent via SMS.

Open your authenticator app to retrieve the current 6-digit code for Digital Surge.


Confirm your mobile number is correct

First, make sure the correct mobile number is linked to your Digital Surge account.

Please check:

  • The mobile number saved on your account

  • That you are checking the same phone linked to that number

  • Whether you have recently changed your phone number

If the number is incorrect or outdated, the SMS will be sent to the wrong device.


Check your mobile signal and network

SMS delivery depends on your mobile provider and network connection.

Please ensure:

  • You have mobile signal (not Wi-Fi only)

  • Airplane mode is turned off

  • You can receive regular SMS messages from other senders

If you are in an area with poor reception, move to a stronger signal area and request a new code.


Check for filtered, spam, or blocked messages

Some phones automatically filter certain SMS messages into a separate folder. This can happen on both Android and iPhone devices.

Even legitimate messages can sometimes be filtered.

Open your Messages app and check for folders or sections such as:

  • Spam

  • Junk

  • Blocked

  • Filtered messages

  • Unknown Senders (iPhone)

If you find a message from Digital Surge in one of these folders, open it and select an option such as:

  • Not Spam

  • Move to Inbox

  • Mark as Known

  • Unblock

Moving the message back to your main inbox can help ensure future SMS messages are delivered normally.


Restart your phone

Restarting your device can resolve temporary network or messaging issues.

  • Turn your phone off completely

  • Wait 10 seconds

  • Turn it back on

  • Request a new SMS code


Check blocked numbers and message settings

If a number is blocked on your phone, you may not receive messages from it.

Please check:

  • Your phone’s blocked contacts or blocked numbers list

  • Any spam protection or message filtering settings in your messaging app

  • Focus or Do Not Disturb modes that may silence notifications

Note: Focus or Do Not Disturb will not stop delivery, but may prevent you from seeing the notification.


Allow time and request a new code

SMS messages are sent automatically after you request them, but delivery timing is controlled by your mobile provider.

If the code does not arrive immediately:

  • Wait a few minutes

  • Close and reopen your Messages app

  • Request a new code

If multiple codes are requested, always use the most recent one sent.


Still not receiving the SMS?

If you have completed the steps above and are still not receiving your SMS verification code, please contact our support team and provide:

  • The action you were trying to complete

  • The time you attempted it

  • The mobile number linked to your account

  • Your device type (Android or iPhone)
