Why is YouTube requesting my phone number?
Spam and abuse are essential issues for YouTube.
To safeguard the YouTube community
and stop misuse YouTube asks phone numbers to confirm your
identity.
To send
you a verification code, YouTube uses your phone number.
Also,
YouTube ensures that the phone number is connected to no more than two
channels annually.
I haven't received the verification code from YouTube
You need to receive the code right now.
You can ask for a new code if you haven't already.
Verify that you are not encountering any of the following typical
issues:
· The number of accounts using the same phone number is excessive.
If you encounter the error "This phone number has already created the maximum number of accounts," you must try a new number.
A phone number can only be connected to two accounts annually in order to combat abuse.
·
Not all carriers and countries/regions
support Google text messages:
The
majority of mobile carriers accept Google text messaging. You can use a
different phone number or attempt the voice call option if your carrier doesn't
support text messages from Google.
·
The delivery of text messages may be delayed.
Delays may occur in locations with high densities of people or if your carrier's infrastructure isn't in good condition. Try the voice call option if you've waited more than a few minutes and still haven't received our text message.
