Can’t receive Facebook verification code when trying to register developer account — any fix?
Hey everyone, I’ve been trying all day to register for a Facebook Developer account, but I’m completely stuck at the phone number verification step.
When I enter my number, it says the code has been sent, but I never receive it. I’ve tried multiple times and even waited hours between attempts. I’ve: • Confirmed the number is correct and in the right format (+1 for Canada). • Tried both the mobile app and desktop site. • Checked if the SMS shortcode 32665 is blocked (it’s not). • Restarted my phone and cleared cache.
Still nothing. I even tried to get the code via email, but it forces phone verification for this step.
Has anyone else run into this while creating a Facebook Developer account? Is there a known fix or workaround? Any help is appreciated — I feel like I’m losing my mind over this 😅.
Thanks in advance! And there’s no way to get support from Facebook
