The Garmin Messenger app won't verify my phone number on my Samsung A73 5G mobile.

It keeps displaying the message:

Something went wrong. Try again later

What needs to be done to resolve this issue?

  • Good evening everyone,
    I also encounter the same problem with a Samsung S23 Ultra, I am also in France, Orange operator, I manage to install Messenger correctly, there is a short tutorial to know what Messenger is for, I follow the steps, but as soon as I enter my telephone number, I do not receive the confirmation SMS, yet my account identifier is clearly identified before accessing the authentication request, strange it has already worked however, and also I receive SMS from Garmin would only be able to access this forum...
    I don't need Messenger since in the Explore application once my Inreach Mini 2 is registered, but this application is still used to check what remains as SMS for example, besides Garmin should simplify its applications and there are fewer of them, between Connect for the sake of form, Explore and Messenger you have to be able to keep up with all of this, Explore should be enough to use GPS and Inreach...
    I followed the procedures and in the Messenger settings, I authorized everything, so it is not my S23 which is blocking the reception of messages, since I normally receive other text messages.
    Thanks for your feedback, if anyone has an explanation.

  • Hello, I will send you a private message to gather more information.

  • Problem solved (thank you Garmin).

    For Android users take care with automatic filling. Android automatic fill my phone number replacing the first 0 of the french domestic phone number by a space " ".

    The phone number expected is without the first 0 

    This was the cause of the problem.
