are you looking to use rental from sellers out here or some other companies recommendations?

What is your budget? how many number you looking?

can be anywhere, Budget NA, I just need 1 number for now
 
I'm from a country outside China, and I used a rented phone number to register a Weibo account. However, I encountered the same issue as you and was unable to receive the SMS verification code needed to activate the account.
 
I think the failure to receive messages multiple times is related to your local carrier. Just like when I didn't get my Telegram verification code at first—I gave my carrier a call to activate the service, and it was fixed immediately.
 
Try restarting the phone and requesting the code again after a few minutes. Also check the country code and whether your carrier is blocking short-code SMS—sometimes the simplest fix is the right one
 
Try checking the country code and waiting a few minutes before requesting another code. If it still doesn’t arrive, restarting your phone or trying another supported number can sometimes help.
 
what are you verifying? half the time its not the number its that the site blocks the whole range youre on. if its a voip or a heavily used panel number the code just never fires. a clean unused number usually fixes it instantly
 
There can be several reasons why SMS is not coming. First, double-check your number to make sure you have entered the country code correctly. Sometimes messages arrive late due to the network, so wait ten to fifteen minutes. Try using your original number. Restart your phone once and see if it still doesn't come. If it still doesn't come, try using another network or another number.
 
Same here. I can’t receive the verification code no matter how many times I try. Is there any solution that actually works?
 
Since OP said the country isn't in the location list, that's probably the real blocker, not the number. When a platform's signup flow doesn't list your country, the SMS route for that country code is often just not enabled, so retrying with the same SIM won't change anything.

A few things that haven't been mentioned yet:
- Try the signup in the official mobile app instead of the web page (or the other way round). They sometimes use different verification flows.
- Look for a voice-call code option or a "send an SMS to us" option. Some Chinese platforms offer one of these when inbound SMS fails.
- After many failed attempts the number can get rate-limited, so give it a break, ideally a day or so, before trying again.
- Make sure your SIM can receive international SMS. Some prepaid plans block foreign senders by default.

@Koma, which site are you verifying, and with what kind of number? The fix depends a lot on that.
