I'm not receiving verification codes on LimePhone

Are you waiting for a verification code to your LimePhone number?

In many cases, services that require verification codes through 2-factor authentication (2FA) don't allow the use of virtual phone numbers, such as LimePhone numbers, during the registration or verification process. Services like Facebook, Uber, Airbnb, PayPal, Google, WhatsApp, and banks typically have restrictions in place for using virtual phone numbers for authentication.

The reason for this restriction is that virtual phone numbers are easily accessible and can be used on multiple devices, making them less secure and more prone to misuse for authentication purposes.

As a result, if you encounter a service that doesn't accept virtual phone numbers like LimePhone for verification, it's recommended to use your personal phone number to sign up for the account. LimePhone can still be used for other purposes as you see fit.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask.
