Cannot verify my phone number

I get a verification code from SMS but it cannot verify the number. It says “something went wrong”. I have tried uninstalling and installing the app many times.

What are you trying to do?

Log in or create an account?

yes, it was working fine

Yep
I got my card by post and just i wanted to activate it ,but i couldn’t.

Make sure you’re using the email address you signed up to Monzo with.

See the fourth section of this post for information about when you are asked to enter your phone number;

it is the same email add.

If you’re being asked for your phone number, it isn’t the same email address;

**If you already have an account with Monzo and you’re trying to login, and you are asked to enter your phone number, this always means you have entered the wrong email address. Always. The phone number prompt only ever occurs on the sign-up flow, when entering an email not already tied to an account, not the log-in flow when the email already exists for an account.

What about when i creating a new acc. And verify code is not working?
What is the next step?

If i went with a wrong email addr the app staritaway says its a wrong email… so it could not let me continue…

From https://monzo.com/faq;

"Why can’t I login to my Monzo account?
If you already have an account with Monzo, you’ve tried logging into your app but have been asked to verify your phone number, you may have accidentally signed up for a new account.

To fix this issue you’ll need to delete and reinstall the app and log in from the beginning using the email address you originally signed up with :+1:.

If you can’t remember what email this is, search in your inbox for your original signup email from us."

You were right, I was using a different email address. Thank you very much for your help.

You are very welcome - glad to help you get access to your Monzo! :sweat:

I’m trying to create a Monzo account from my phone in the USA, I enter my telephone number but do not receive any verification. I have tried with a leading +1 and without. I have hit resend a dozen times and nothing is received. I have had a friend text me and confirmed I am receiving texts. Is it possible MOnzo’s SMS server is down?

Hi @gdabate ,

Are you a Monzo USA customer or a Monzo UK customer currently in the USA? If the latter, you probably won’t be able to sign up anyway as the initial card needs to be sent to a UK address and they’ll carry out identity verification.

If you are a Monzo USA customer, have a look in Monzo USA 🇺🇸 - Monzo Community as the USA team tends to hangout there.
