Sinch verification not working with UK number

Question

I have implemented SinchVerification, here is my code

Config config = SinchVerification.config().applicationKey(getResources().getString(R.string.sinch_app_key)).context(getApplicationContext()).build();
final Verification verification = SinchVerification.createSmsVerification(config, phone, listener);
verification.initiate();

It is working for India and US but somehow it is not working with UK, It is calling onVerificationFailed(Exception e) method with following logcat.

phone number is something like +44**********

com.sinch.verification.CodeInterceptionException: Did not receive sms.

I have also checked with official doc of sinch for available operators with country, my operator is Telefonica O2 UK and it is supported by sinch.

Answer 1

I was having the same exception. What you need to do is:

1. Go to your Sinch Developers Account Dashboard
2. Apps => SMS => Activate SMS
3. You will receive an email. Reply to that email with the asked details and they will activate that for you.
4. You are Done!
