How it works

Enter your real phone number.

Start by adding your personal mobile number in the correct international format. Use the country code and full number; keep it clean and avoid spaces, dashes, or extra zeros.

Request the verification code.

When Scalapay asks for phone confirmation during signup, login, or security checks, tap the button to send the OTP. Submit one request first, then wait before trying again.

Check your SMS inbox.

The code is usually sent by text message to the number linked to your account. Open your messages, find the latest OTP, and copy it carefully.

Enter the OTP promptly.

Paste or type the code back into the verification field as soon as it arrives. Verification codes often expire quickly, so it is best to use them right away.

Avoid repeated resend attempts.

If the code does not arrive instantly, wait 60–120 seconds before requesting another one. Too many rapid retries can cause delays or temporary verification issues.

Double-check the number if it fails.

If verification does not work, confirm that the phone number was entered correctly, the country code is right, and your mobile network can receive SMS messages. If needed, contact Scalapay support for account-specific help.
