Check in this order

  • Confirm that the service and country match the active rental.
  • Check that the rental is active and refresh the rental message history.
  • Avoid repeated requests because the third-party service may apply a rate limit.
  • If the message is still missing, send support the rental ID and request time.

What support needs

Include the service, country, rental ID, request time, and visible error text.

Never send a password or the full verification code in a support request.
