### Answer Based on community experiences, users from Nigeria have encountered issues receiving SMS verification codes during registration. [(1) ]() [(2) ]() [(3) ]() Here are some workarounds that have worked for others: 1. Use a VPN - One user successfully registered by using a VPN (specifically mentioned: [veepn.com/vpn-apps/vpn-for-chrome/]() ) . [(3) ]() 2. Use a US number to sign up - Another user reported signing up with a US number, then selecting "receive verification code by email" for subsequent logins. [(1) ]() Once you're registered, you can choose to receive verification codes via email instead of SMS when logging in. If these workarounds don't help, I'd recommend reaching out to Retell support directly: - Visit [Contact Sales]() - Check out [Retell AI GitHub]() Would you like me to provide a general answer about alternative registration methods?
