Trying to Vote but are not receiving an OTP code? It may be that your phone is on a ‘Do Not Disturb’ (DND) facility and this could be blocking your registration OTP. When your phone number is on DND, it means communication from third-party providers is restricted. Here are steps to help you unsubscribe from a DND list just in case 2442 is not relevant for your country.

Send these two text messages:

  1. Text STOP to 2442 and then,
  2. Text ALLOW to the same number to start receiving bulk SMS’s

Still not receiving any third-party SMS after texting ‘ALLOW’ to 2442? You may need to contact your telecommunications service provider.

Trying to Vote but are not receiving an OTP code? It may be that your phone is on a ‘Do Not Disturb’ (DND) facility and this could be blocking your registration OTP. When your phone number is on DND, it means communication from third-party providers is restricted. Here are steps to help you unsubscribe from a DND list.


How to Unsubscribe from DND Lists:

1. Contact your service provider to find out if you are on a DND list

2. If you are, ask them for instructions on how to unsubscribe from the DND list

 

How to check your SMS settings:

1. Make sure to check your SMS settings to ensure that you can receive promotional messaging.

2. Sometimes the OTP gets stuck in transit so you can also try switching your phone off and back on.

3. Lastly, the network could be congested so if you're still not seeing an OTP, wait 5 minutes and try again.

4. You can also try and put your sim card in a different handset to see if the message comes through.

5. Check that your phone memory is not full. You may need to delete some older messages for the message to come through.

Once the process is complete head on over to the AMVCA 

Voting page to try registering again.

If after you have followed the instructions from your service provider and you still do not receive an OTP please send us a direct message on any of our social media accounts with your Name, Surname, Cell number and Country and we will get back to you.

Voting closes on 12 May 2023 at 23:00 (EAT).
