If you are experiencing issues receiving SMS verification codes during the binding process, you can use Telegram as an alternative verification channel. **Here is a guide on connecting to your phone number:** Mobile phone number page link: Navigate to the avatar photo in the upper right corner, and click the '**Settings**' option.
On the profile page, click the '**Security**' option and select '**Mobile**'.
Enter your phone number and click the '**Get Code**' button.
We highly recommend using Telegram to receive the verification code, as it is more stable. **⚠️ ****Critical Reminder:** You did not create a Cwallet account using the Telegram account you are trying to link, and your Telegram account must be in a logged-in state.
If you still want to use SMS to receive the verification code, you need to click the '**other options**' button.
Click the '**send code**' button, and you will receive the code from your SMS or Telegram account. Once it has been confirmed, your phone number has been bound successfully.
