If you’re not receiving a verification code when signing up or logging in, it may be due to one of the following reasons:
1. Phone number restrictions
To improve platform security and reduce spam, Yik Yak currently only supports U.S. phone numbers. Phone numbers from outside the United States are not supported. We also do not allow sign-ups using VoIP phone numbers (such as Google Voice or similar services).
2. Incorrect phone number format
Make sure your phone number is entered correctly, including the +1 country code followed by your phone number.
3. Other issues
If your phone number is a valid U.S. number and you’re still not receiving the verification code, please contact Yik Yak Support so we can investigate further.
When reaching out, please include the following information to help us troubleshoot the issue faster:
Your phone number (including country code)
Your mobile network provider (e.g., Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile)
Your school email address
