not getting verification code on sms

I have started the Garmin messenger app and need to get the SMS verification CODE

I supply the telephone number - with and without (0) after the international prefix and still get no SMS with activation code

  • Here is a support article about that problem: support.garmin.com/.../

  • Thanks.

    I am receiving all my daily SMS normally and OTPs on my cell

    I have followed the article and the issues remain.

    Regards

  • The article also mentions that if you still have issues you should contact Garmin Support with the info listed in the article. Have you done that already?

  • Yes I have

    ios version phone type error message etc 

    • Here is an interesting fact

    i have both a physical sim and a virtual sim in my phone on the same provider network

    the sms from Garmin only come through when I use the physical Sim number 

  • That’s super frustrating when the SMS code just won’t come through. I’ve had this happen before, and what helped me was double-checking if the phone number was entered correctly, including the country code. Sometimes it can be as simple as a small mistake there. If that’s all good and you’re still not getting it, you might want to try restarting your phone or toggling airplane mode on and off – seems to help with some SMS issues. Another thing you could do is use a temporary mobile number from sites like temp mobile number, just to get the verification. I’ve used it for stuff like this, and it works fine for short-term use.
