I didn't receive my OTP
What to do when your verification code does not arrive.
Last updated June 1, 2026
If your one-time code has not arrived, a few quick checks usually fix it.
Try these steps
- Wait up to a minute. Codes can take a moment to reach you.
- Check your network signal and that you can receive SMS.
- Confirm the phone number on your account is correct.
- Tap Resend once the timer allows.
- Restart your phone if SMS still is not coming through.
Requesting codes too quickly can trigger a temporary lockout. Give it a short pause between attempts.
If you keep hitting limits, see I'm locked out or too many attempts (/personal/troubleshooting/locked-out). Still stuck after several tries? Email support@boldswitch.ng with your registered number.
