The code did not arrive, what now?

Updated 24 October 2026, 3 minute read

Most codes arrive within two minutes. If yours has not, the steps below fix it in almost every case. And if nothing works, you do not lose money, the hold returns to your wallet on its own.

1. Give it two minutes

WhatsApp sometimes takes a moment to send the SMS. Keep the order page open, it updates by itself as soon as the code lands.

2. Check the number you typed

WhatsApp asks for the country and the number separately. Pick the country first, then paste only the digits after the country code.

Example for the United Kingdom
+447700 900123

3. Ask WhatsApp to send it again

After the WhatsApp timer ends, tap Resend SMS. Do not choose Call me, numbers on TeliPack receive SMS only.

4. Get a different number

If WhatsApp shows an error such as "This number is not allowed", tap Number not working on your order page. You get a fresh number right away and your hold moves to the new order.

5. Your money comes back automatically

If no code arrives within 20 minutes, the order closes and the full amount returns to your wallet. You can also cancel after two minutes and get the money back instantly.

You are never charged for a code that did not arrive. Refunds show in Wallet, under History.
