Set Up Contact Information screen

  1. To verify the phone number that you entered, a one-time code must be sent to the phone number you entered. Select how you would like to receive that code:
    1. Text Message – a text message is sent your phone
    2. Voice Call – a phone call is placed to your phone and an automated voice provides the code

Verify Primary Phone Number screen

  1. On the next page, enter the code that you received. If you did not receive the code, click Resend code to resend the code to the same number. Additionally, you can change the method of receiving the code by clicking the link below Resend code. In our example, we chose to receive the code by text message, so the link shown provides the option to Receive a code by voice call instead.
