1. Are you logged in to the email address registered to your Gate.io account? Sometimes you might be logged out of your email on your device and hence can’t see Gate.io emails. Please log in and refresh.

2. Have you checked the spam folder of your email? If you find that your email service provider is pushing Gate.io emails into your spam folder, you can mark them as “safe” by whitelisting Gate.io email addresses. You can refer to How to Whitelist Gate.io Emails to set it up.

How come I can’t get SMS verification codes?

Gate.io is always working to improve the user experience by expanding our SMS Authentication coverage. Nonetheless, certain nations and regions aren’t currently supported.

Please check our global SMS coverage list to see if your location is covered if you are unable to enable SMS authentication. Please use Google Authentication as your primary two-factor authentication if your location is not included on the list.

The following actions should be taken if you are still unable to receive SMS codes even after you have activated SMS authentication or if you are currently living in a nation or region covered by our global SMS coverage list:

• Make sure there is a strong network signal on your mobile device.
• Disable any call blocking, firewall, anti-virus, and/or caller programs on your phone that might be preventing our SMS Code number from working.
• Turn your phone back on.
• Instead, try voice verification.
