Discord verification code not received?
First check whether Discord is sending codes at all. Below is a live count of Discord codes reaching our public numbers, then the fixes that usually work.
Is Discord sending codes right now?
Discord sends too few codes to our numbers to judge the last hour. The counts below are the best guide.

This counts Discord codes reaching our public numbers. If Discord is delivering here but not to your phone, the problem is most likely the number, your phone or your carrier. Work through the steps below.
What to try
- Check the number format: pick the right country and drop the leading 0 (07700 900123 becomes +44 7700 900123).
- Wait a full minute before pressing resend. With many apps only the newest code works, so resending too early can cancel the first one.
- Stop after two or three requests. Discord limits how many codes it sends and may stop sending for a while without telling you.
- Look for another way to get the code: a phone call, an email, or the code shown in the app on a device where you are already signed in.
- On your own phone: check your signal, turn airplane mode on and off, and look in your spam or unknown-sender filters.
- On a free number: pick one that received a Discord code recently, and switch numbers instead of retrying one that failed.
Discord tips
- If Discord refuses the number, try a different one instead of resending to the same number.
- Set up two-factor authentication with an authenticator app, and do not add this number as an SMS backup.
- Choose a number with a recent Discord code on this page: it shows Discord was still sending to it.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my Discord verification code not coming?
Usually the number was entered in the wrong format, the code is delayed or rate-limited after several requests, or Discord won't send to that number. Check the live status above first: if Discord is delivering normally, the problem is on the receiving side.
How long does a Discord code take to arrive?
Usually a few seconds. Delays of a minute or two happen, so wait a full minute before asking for a new code.
Can I get a Discord code without my own phone number?
Sometimes. The free numbers on our Discord page received Discord codes recently, but they are public: anyone can read the code, so use them only for throwaway accounts.
