What Should I Do If the Number I Received Doesn’t Work for Google Verification?

2 min read

If the number you rented didn’t work for Google or Gmail verification, here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Request a New Number #

  • MobileSMS.io only deducts credits if the SMS is successfully received. You can release the current number and try a fresh one without losing any balance.
  • Try a Different Country: Google’s verification success rates can vary by region. Numbers from USA and UK tend to be the most reliable.

2. Use Stealth Methods #

  • Change Your Browser or Device: Using the same browser or device repeatedly can lead to detection by Google. Switch to a different device, clear cookies, or use incognito mode.
  • Avoid Detection: Modern platforms like Google are smart at identifying repeated account creation attempts from the same setup. Changing up your environment can improve success rates.

3. Ensure IP and Number Country Match #

  • Make sure your IP address matches the country of the rented number. For example, if you’re using a U.S.-based number, your IP should also be U.S.-based.
  • Use a VPN or Proxy: If necessary, use a VPN or residential proxy configured for the number’s country. Avoid free or public VPNs as they’re often flagged.

4. Advanced Tip: Use SmartProxy’s X-Browser #

  • X-Browser helps create unique digital fingerprints for every attempt, making it appear as though each verification comes from a distinct user or device.
  • When paired with residential proxies, this tool is particularly effective for bypassing Google’s strict security measures.

5. Clear Cache and Take a Break #

  • Google may have temporarily flagged your verification attempts. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then wait 10-15 minutes before trying again.

6. Consider Long-Term Rentals for Reliability #

  • If you frequently verify accounts, upgrading to an All-Services Premium Rental can save time and effort.
    • Always Active: Numbers are continuously ready to receive SMS without manual activation.
    • Cross-Platform Support: Works seamlessly with multiple platforms, including Google.
    • Starts at $50 for 30 days and is ideal for consistent or team-based usage.

7. Refund Policy #

  • If the number still doesn’t work for Google verification, you’re covered by our 100% money-back guarantee. Contact our support team to request a refund or a replacement number.
