  • There are several possible reasons for this issue, including the following:


    ● Unstable network coverage or network routing delays may cause verification codes to arrive late.


    ● If you have enabled call or SMS blocking for unknown numbers, verification codes may be blocked.


    ● If your Apple ID or Google Play Store account region is set to another country (e.g., Japan), you may not receive verification codes sent from U.S. websites. Please update your account region to match the country you are currently using the service in.



    Due to the variety of potential causes, it is difficult to determine the exact issue. If you still cannot receive verification codes after checking the above, please contact the service sender (the service requiring 2-factor authentication) to inquire about their verification policies and requirements.

    *6) Premium plan ($60 per month) is required using the SIM card made for it. So, you will need to exchange your current SIM card to the SIM card made for Premium plan only.  In addition, you will need to exchange the SIM card when you change to Minimum/Light/Business plan from Premium plan as well. ※We will deliver a replacement SIM card in about 3 to 6 business days after receiving the request for the change of plans.


    ■Changing plans with replacement the SIM card

  • International SMS to numbers outside the U.S. is included at no extra charge with unlimited usage.


    *Available on all SIM plans.


  • This optional service provides you with a Japanese phone number starting with 050 in addition to your U.S. mobile phone number.



    • Japanese phone numbers starting with 050 are for incoming calls only.


    • Callers from Japan can reach subscribers staying in the U.S. at Japanese domestic call rates, making it a convenient feature for those calling you from Japan.


    • Incoming calls received within the U.S. are free of charge.

    (Note) Subscribers to the $15/Month Minimum Plan will be charged a calling rate of $0.25/minute even when receiving calls on a 050 number.



    *Making outgoing calls or sending/receiving text messages (SMS) using the 050 number is not supported.

    Additionally, this number cannot be used to register for apps that require SMS verification codes, such as LINE.


    *Because the 050 number functions as a call-forwarding number, incoming caller ID display may vary depending on the caller's device and Japanese carrier, sometimes appearing as "Unknown Caller" or "Scam Likely". If you have call-blocking settings enabled for "Scam Likely" or unknown numbers, you may not receive incoming calls on your 050 number. Please disable call blocking to ensure calls go through.


    *Please note that while internal testing confirms the functionality of 050 numbers, connection issues may occasionally occur due to local signal conditions or other external factors.


    *050 numbers are VoIP numbers, and it is not uncommon for them to be unaccepted as official contact numbers for certain documents or services. Please keep this in mind when subscribing.



    To add this optional plan, please contact Customer Support.

  • In the United States, it is very common to receive spam calls, wrong numbers, and wrong text messages shortly after getting a new phone number.


    One reason for this is a shortage of phone numbers in the U.S., which leads all carriers to recycle phone numbers after an account is canceled.

    Canceled numbers are typically held for a short holding period (usually 3 months to 1 year, or as short as 1 month) before being reassigned to new users.


    Additionally, telemarketers and robocallers use automated machines to call numbers at random, making it difficult to block spam calls completely.



    〈Recommended Solutions〉


    1. Use a Spam Call Blocker App


    If you are using a smartphone, you can use mobile apps to block spam calls, wrong numbers, and spam text messages.



    2. Avoid Answering Calls from Unknown Numbers


    If you let unknown calls go unanswered and individually block those numbers afterwards, the frequency of spam calls, wrong numbers, and spam texts may decrease.


    【How to Block Callers on iPhone】


    Go to Recents ⇒ Tap the info icon (the "i" symbol) next to the number you want to block ⇒ Scroll down to the bottom and tap "Block this Caller" ⇒ Tap "Block Contact".


    【Silence Unknown Callers】*Feature available on iPhone iOS 13 or later


    Enabling the "Silence Unknown Callers" setting will automatically silence incoming calls from numbers not saved in your contacts and send them straight to voicemail.


    Settings ⇒ Phone ⇒ Silence Unknown Callers ⇒ Toggle ON / Green



    3. Change Your Phone Number


    We can change your phone number upon request.

    If you would like to request a number change, please contact UNIVERSAL Mobile Customer Support.


    *Please note in advance that changing your phone number does not guarantee that the new number will be free of spam calls or text messages.

  • Contact the new provider you'd like to port your current phone number to, and they will let you know what details they'll need in order to port it.


    *Customers with Premier Plan*


    If you are with Premier Plan and plan to transfer your current number to T-mobile, the process will take longer than usual due to the transfer process between the same carriers.


    Please be sure to start the procedure well in advance of the date.
