SMS verification and registration
You're probably here because fake accounts and bots are draining your moderation time and killing user trust. Every spam profile that slips through is a real user who might leave your platform for good.
Phone verification adds a real barrier for bad actors while keeping registration simple for genuine users. One SMS code separates real people from automated abuse.
What this solves
Block fake registrations
Each user must verify a real phone number. Bots and spammers can't mass-create accounts anymore.
Build user trust
Verified phone numbers signal authenticity. Users feel safer knowing others passed the same check.
Marketing channel
With consent, you gain SMS as a direct communication channel for re-engagement campaigns.

How it works
1
