What to Do If You Can't Receive Binance SMS Verification Code?
If you can't receive the SMS verification code, don't keep clicking "Resend"—frequent operations may trigger risk controls and lock your account. Follow the sequence "Switch to voice call → Check interception → Change network" to resolve over 90% of cases. SMS and email are essentially 2FA verification channels; if the SMS channel keeps failing, switching toGoogle Authenticatoris a more stable solution.

Step 1: Immediately Switch to "Voice Verification Code" (Fastest Bypass)
When the SMS channel is down, Binance offersvoice callas a backup channel, which reads a 6-digit number over the phone.
Find and click"Didn't receive the code?"link below the verification code input field.
Select"Voice verification code"or"Call me instead".
Keep your phone ringer on (disable Do Not Disturb mode) and answer the incoming call.
After answering, note the 6-digit number read aloud and enter it.
Most effective method: Since March 2026, Binance's voice verification has covered all Chinese mainland number segments, making this the most efficient way to bypass SMS gateway dependencies.
Step 2: If Voice Also Fails, Check Phone Interception
If the voice channel is also unavailable, or you want to use SMS but can't receive it, check in the following order:
Check SMS interception settings: Built-in "spam SMS interception" or third-party security apps (e.g., Tencent Phone Manager, 360 Security Guard) may mistakenly block Binance SMS as marketing messages. Go to the interception records in the "Messages" app, look for SMS containing "Binance", restore them, and add to thewhitelist.
Check SMS storage space: Some Android devices automatically discard new messages when storage is full. Delete old messages from three months ago to free up space and try again.
Check phone number format: Go to [Security Center] → [Phone Verification] to confirm your bound phone numberincludes the correct country code(e.g., +86 for China mainland) without extra spaces or symbols.
Step 3: Switch Network Environment
Turn off Wi-Fi,switch to 4G/5G mobile dataand request the verification code again; or vice versa, switch to Wi-Fi.
Restart your phoneto force refresh network registration status.
Step 4: Switch to Google Authenticator as a Long-Term Solution
The SMS channel is inherently unstable, often affected by carrier interception, roaming, number segment restrictions, etc. If you have already bound Google Authenticator, you can directly use the dynamic code generated by the authenticator to replace SMS, completely independent of the communication network.
On the verification page, select"Use other verification methods"→"Google Authenticator".
Open the Google Authenticator app, find the corresponding Binance account's 6-digit dynamic code, and enter it.
If you haven't bound Google Authenticator yet, it's recommended to do so as soon as your account is normal.
