Why is phone number verification
Through phone number verification, YouTube ensures community safety and prevents abuse.
Note: One phone number can not be used for more than 2 channels/per year. Also, don’t worry your personal information is safe with YT.
In case you don’t receive the verification code
In that case, you can again try to request for verification code. In case you chose text code and it didn’t work, then next time go for the voice call. There are three reasons behind all this, they are as follows:
- Maybe your number is from a country or region, where they don’t support messages from Google. In this case, you can either choose a different number or next time choose the voice call option
- Maybe the number you are trying to use has already been used for 2 channels. In this case, you should try with a different number
- Or maybe your message delivery was late, because of a densely populated area, or due to an ill-maintained network you are using. In this case try waiting for 1-2 minutes, if it doesn’t work, go for the voice call option.
