Hello friends today I am going to write on an issue that arises while creating a new Instagram account. This guide will come to the rescue for those who are not receiving Instagram security code SMS while creating a new account. Two weeks ago I have gone through similar kind of problem and this guide is the result. If you too are looking for a solution to this issue then you are on the right page.
Here’s my story ! Earlier I made an Instagram account using my mobile number and some how I thought of deleting it and make a new one. I deleted that account thinking that I might be able to make a new account on the same number. To my surprise I am not receiving Instagram Security code SMS on the mobile number. I tried verifying by email but I am not receiving Instagram verification code on my mail also. I will cover about this issue in the later part of this article.
Thinking that the server might be overloaded and it will take time for me to receive the verification code. I tried the next day also, to my surprise I am not receiving the security code. Here’s what I have done to get the code.
First thing to do is Check your Internet Connection
If you are not receiving the Instagram security code SMS then check whether there is an active Internet connection on your side. If not try to connect to the Internet. Once you get active Internet connection then try restarting the device through which you are trying to sign up.
Wait for sometime if you are trying for the first time
Incase if you are creating a new Instagram account for the first time. First thing you have to do is to have patience and wait for some time. You will get the code for sure after some time. Still if you hasn’t get the code after a long wait it’s better to try the next day. In case of a server overload your number might be in queue. So you need to have some patience and wait for your turn to get the sms.
Change number if you have already used it
In case if you already own an Instagram account on a mobile number and trying to create one more using the same number. You need to change the mobile for the new account as you won’t get any Security code on this number. Many Instagram marketers try to create more than one account in order to promote a product or brand. Forget about receiving the code. Instagram won’t allow you create multiple Instagram accounts with same phone number.
Try Incognito mode else login from another device
If you are not able to receive security code SMS from Instagram there might be a chance that your IP address may be blocked to use Instagram. So try changing login from another device. Incase if you don’t have another device you can try VPN for changing your IP address. Some users online say that logging from the Incognito mode has solved the issue for them. Give it a try who knows it may work for you too.
Try alternate verification mode
Well if you are not getting verification code to your mobile number. You can try email verification. You need to signup using an email ID which is not used earlier. Once after successful sign up you will receive the security code to your mail.
While you click on sign up there is an option to login with Facebook instead of creating an account. This might help you get rid of Instagram verification.
