Account Authentication Support

Content:

During the AWS account creation process, at the contact phone number verification step, sometimes there will be a situation where no SMS or calls from AWS will be received. In that case, follow these steps to complete the account information verification:

Check the information

First, double-check your account information and make sure it’s entered correctly:

  • You have entered the phone number information and selected the correct international area code to receive the call.
  • If you use a mobile phone, check your phone to make sure you are still within range to receive calls.
  • Payment method information has been entered correctly.

    Make sure that the phone number you provide in your AWS account is reachable.

Create a support case with AWS Support

After checking that the information is correct but still has not received the verification call, AWS Support will assist you to activate your account manually.
