Why GiveSendGo Uses SMS Verification

Why GiveSendGo Sends a Verification Code to Your Phone

When you sign up for a GiveSendGo account, we ask for your phone number so we can send you a verification code by text message (SMS). This code helps us confirm that you're a real person and that the phone number you entered belongs to you.

This step helps protect your account and the GiveSendGo community by preventing fake or automated signups. It also makes it easier for us to help you later if you ever need to recover your account.

Why Is SMS Verification Important?

  • It’s a basic security step that helps protect your account from misuse, especially during the sign up process

  • It allows us to verify your identity quickly if you ever need to recover your account

What If I Don't Have a Mobile Phone?

If you don’t have a mobile phone or are unable to receive texts, please reach out to our support team. We’re happy to help you complete your signup another way.
