Why isn’t my VPN or purchased US phone numbers working for account verification?

For account verification, Instagram often requires a US phone number. Reliable options include using Skype numbers or services provided by platforms like Zadarma.

If a purchased number doesn’t work, ensure it is properly configured and compatible with the platform.

Regarding TikTok, using a VPN (like Nord VPN) can help target the US market, but sometimes platforms detect location inconsistencies. Consistently using the same VPN settings and testing with different configurations can mitigate this issue.

If problems persist, contacting the respective platform’s support team may be necessary.
