Why Won’t My Phone Number Work During Sign-Up?

Common reasons your number may not be accepted by Textla

Updated over a week ago

If you're having trouble using your phone number during sign-up, it could be due to a few common reasons related to number type or location restrictions.


Common Causes

  • VoIP Number: Phone numbers from internet-based services like Google Voice or OpenPhone may not be accepted.

  • Softphone or App-Based Numbers: Numbers linked to apps or software (not tied to a traditional mobile carrier) may be blocked.

  • International Numbers: At this time, we only accept phone numbers based in the United States or Canada.

  • VPN Usage: If you’re connected to a VPN during sign-up, it may interfere with location or carrier detection.


What Can You Do?

To successfully sign up, we recommend using a standard U.S. or Canadian mobile number from a major carrier, with VPN disabled during the process.
