SMS Verification Issues

Updated over 2 weeks ago

If you're unable to receive SMS verification codes for your FXTRADING.com account, this may be due to technical or regulatory factors affecting SMS delivery to specific regions. This article explains the key factors and provides solutions to help you complete the verification process.

Understanding SMS Delivery Limitations

FXTRADING.com complies with international regulations and geo-permissions, which may limit SMS delivery to certain regions. As part of these compliance requirements:

  • Phone numbers with specific country codes may be unable to receive SMS verification codes

  • These restrictions are in place due to regulatory compliance requirements and geo-regulatory constraints

  • SMS delivery limitations help ensure adherence to international financial regulations

Known Affected Regions

Currently, users with phone numbers from certain regions may experience difficulties receiving SMS-based verification codes. Specific examples include:

Syria (Country Code +963), Burundi (Country Code +257), Tajikistan (Country Code +992): These countries are not on our restricted account opening list. However, SMS delivery to these regions may be affected by local regulatory requirements, telecommunications infrastructure limitations, or network coverage issues. In many cases, verification codes are successfully sent from our system but may be intercepted by local telecommunications providers or fail to deliver due to technical factors.

Note: The list of affected regions may change based on regulatory updates and international compliance standards.

Solutions for Account Registration

Since phone number verification via SMS is mandatory for account registration, if you cannot receive SMS codes, please consider the following solutions:

1. Use an Alternate Phone Number Registered in Your Name

  • Use a phone number from a non-restricted region that is registered in your name for account registration

  • For security and compliance purposes, you must only use phone numbers that are officially registered under your name

  • This is the most effective solution if you have access to a phone number from an unaffected region that belongs to you

2. Contact Customer Support Before Registration

  • Reach out to the FXTRADING.com support team before attempting to register if you anticipate SMS delivery issues

  • Our team can advise you on the best approach for your specific situation

  • Access support via Live Chat or email [email protected]

  • Provide details about your region and phone number country code so we can offer tailored guidance

Additional Troubleshooting Steps

If you're experiencing SMS delivery issues but are not in a restricted region, try these steps:

  • Check Your Phone Signal: Ensure you have adequate mobile network coverage

  • Verify Phone Number Format: Confirm you're entering the phone number in the correct international format

  • Check Message Filters: Some phones automatically filter or block messages from unknown senders

  • Wait and Retry: SMS delivery can sometimes be delayed; wait a few minutes before requesting a new code

  • Restart Your Device: A simple device restart can sometimes resolve SMS reception issues

  • Contact Your Mobile Carrier: Verify that your carrier is not blocking international SMS messages

Important Notes

  • SMS verification is mandatory for FXTRADING.com account registration and cannot be bypassed

  • Only use phone numbers registered in your name for compliance and security purposes

  • Email-based or app-based verification methods are not available as alternatives during the registration process

  • Once your account is successfully registered, additional security features may become available
