Failed Verification Fixes

- Rent a new USA non-VoIP number — do not reuse a rejected VoIP or inbox line
- Wait at least 10–15 minutes after rate-limit or "too many attempts" messages
- Request one OTP at a time and enter it from your OTPGrove dashboard
- Confirm the full E.164 format (+1…) when Mastodon asks for a USA number

Frequently asked questions
Can I verify Mastodon without my real phone number?
Yes. OTPGrove lets you rent a temporary non-VoIP number for Mastodon verification so your personal SIM stays private. Codes appear in your dashboard inbox only.
Why does Mastodon reject VoIP numbers?
Mastodon blocks VoIP ranges because they are recycled and abused for spam and fraud. OTPGrove non-VoIP carrier routes have much higher acceptance rates on Mastodon.
How long does Mastodon OTP take on OTPGrove?
Most Mastodon orders receive SMS within 30 seconds to 5 minutes depending on route and platform load. Keep the OTPGrove dashboard open while you wait.
What country number works best for Mastodon?
Match the country to what Mastodon expects. USA non-VoIP routes work for many global apps; some platforms require local country codes — browse /countries/ for 203+ options.
What if Mastodon says my number is already registered?
Order a fresh non-VoIP line from OTPGrove. Recycled or previously used numbers trigger that error on Mastodon. Never reuse the same number across multiple new accounts.
