How phone verification works (and why it is needed)

Why it is needed

You need a verified phone number to apply to campaigns, because the brand needs a way to reach you once you are selected.

It used to be required only for delivery-type campaigns; now it applies to campaigns of every type.

Once verified, you can do the following.

• Apply to campaigns of any type
• Register your service on Market

The steps

1. Open the account screen in My Page (/mypage/account).
2. Enter your phone number in the verification form under phone verification (numbers are treated as Korean +82, so you do not need to pick a country code; for an overseas number, tap This is an overseas number and choose the country).
3. Tap Send code and a 6-digit code arrives by text message (you have 5 minutes to enter it).
4. Enter the 6-digit code and tap Confirm to finish. The screen shows the time remaining.

When verification completes, a "verified" mark appears and only the verification details on screen refresh (anything else you were typing stays as it was).

When verification fails

• "Failed to send the code" — check the number and try again shortly.
• "The code has expired" — codes are valid for 5 minutes after sending. Request a new one with Resend code in the form (the button turns itself back on when the validity period ends).
• "The code does not match" — the code was entered incorrectly. Check the 6 digits in the text message again.
• "Too many attempts" — several wrong entries lock that code. Request a new one.
• "The same number can only be sent to once a minute" — a limit that prevents message abuse. The screen shows the remaining time, and Resend code turns on when it reaches zero.
• "Too many requests" — one internet connection can send up to 30 times per hour. Try again after the time shown.

If no message arrives at all, the number may be wrong or there may be a network problem. If it keeps failing, let the inlink team know by chat.

Changing your number after verification

If your phone number changes after you have verified one, simply verify again.

1. On the account screen in My Page, tap Change number on the phone verification row.
2. Receive a code on the new number and complete verification the same way as above; the number is then updated.
