Unable to verify Nepalese trusted number for two-factor authentication

Unable to verify Nepal (+977) trusted phone number


I'm trying to add my Nepal (+977) mobile number as a trusted phone number for my Apple Account.

Apple accepts my number as a regular phone number, but when I try to add it as a trusted phone number for two-factor authentication, I receive this error:

"Verification codes can't be sent to this phone number at this time. Please try again later." Its been like this for 3 days.

The problem persists after multiple attempts. Is there a known issue with verifying Nepalese phone numbers, and how can I resolve it?

Hi there


Please try this


Repeatedly clicking the submit button can extend the lock. Stop attempting to add the number for a full 24 to 48 hours to allow Apple's automated anti-spam system to completely reset your number’s status.
