MercuryQuestions
Why isn't my Amazon code arriving?
Amazon suggests checking the phone's connection, clearing its message inbox, restarting it and making sure Amazon's number isn't blocked. With a TwinNumber, codes land in your browser inbox instead of on a SIM.
Can I use an authenticator app instead of texts?
Yes. Amazon can deliver Two-Step Verification codes by text message, phone call or an authenticator app.
Do I need to live in the U.S.?
No. TwinNumber works from 150+ countries with just a browser and an internet connection.
Is TwinNumber affiliated with Amazon?
No. We test our numbers with popular services and publish the results. Amazon is a trademark of its owner.
What if a code doesn't arrive?
Request a new code, then check your inbox and notification settings. If it keeps failing, contact us and we'll look into it.
