How it works

Enter your own mobile number.

Use a valid mobile number that you personally control. For the best chance of success, enter it in international format: +CountryCodeNumber with no spaces, dashes, or extra leading zeros.

Choose the correct country code.

Select the correct country, then double-check the full number before submitting. A small formatting mistake is one of the most common reasons verification fails.

Request the OTP on Potato Chat.

On the signup, login, or security verification screen, tap Send code once. Do not spam the request button.

Wait for the SMS code.

Give it about 60–120 seconds to arrive. If it does not show up, resend only once and make sure your signal, SMS inbox, and country code are correct.

Enter the code quickly.

Copy the OTP from your SMS inbox and paste it into Potato Chat right away, since verification codes often expire fast.

If it still fails, troubleshoot cleanly.

Check the number format, confirm you selected the right country, restart the app, and try again later if the service is delaying messages. For important accounts, use a stable personal number with normal SMS service enabled.

South Africa number format (quick copy)

Country code: +27
International prefix (dialing out locally): 00
Trunk prefix (local): 0 (drop it when using +27)
Plan type / length: closed plan, 9-digit NSN (you dial all 9 digits domestically)
Mobile pattern (common for OTP): many mobile ranges fall under 06 and 07 (and other mobile allocations), so mobiles often appear as 0X XXX XXXX locally
Mobile length used in forms: typically 9 digits after +27 (no leading 0)

Common pattern (example):

Mobile: 082 123 4567 → International: +27 82 123 4567 (drop the leading 0)

Quick tip: If the form rejects spaces/dashes, paste it as +27821234567 (digits only).
