This guide explains what to check when a verification SMS code does not arrive on a virtual number.

## Direct Answer

If the SMS code does not arrive, check the selected service, country, number format, retry limits and order status before buying another number. The issue may be caused by the target platform, the selected route or repeated code requests.

## Checklist

- Make sure the service selected in Hush SMS matches the platform where the number is entered.
- Enter the number with the country code.
- Do not request many codes in a row.
- Wait for the order window before deciding that the code failed.
- If the platform rejects the number immediately, try another country instead of repeating the same direction.

## What Hush SMS Can Do

Hush SMS shows order status, received SMS, cancellation or replacement actions where available, and repeated-code options when supported.

## When To Use Rental

If the account may ask for another SMS later, rental can be safer than one-time activation because the number remains available during the rental period.
