Solutions to SMS Verification Failed iMobile app

This problem only happens due to misconfiguration with your message service where SMS sending is not possible that’s why the message not sent error is seen.

There may be several reasons behind this issue and we dont know what is the exact issue from your side. So go one by one and one solution will be useful for you.

1. Date and time

This error is may happen due to an incorrect date and time so you only need to set the correct date and time. If you already have the correct date and time then skip this solution.

2. Top-up Recharge:

Most of the time the problem is related to top-up. A low balance on your sim number can cause this problem. Thus to solve this issue firstly dial your balance check the USSD code and check your talk time balance or check your Plan validity. If it is low or your plan has expired then recharge with at least 10 Rs. In my case, it worked only once.

So my suggestion is that you should call your sim card customer care service which will definitely guide the minimum recharge plan that can activate your sim card validity and indirectly the SMS service of your sim. So I recharged with that and my SMS sending issue was solved.

So try recharging your sim card which can activate your SMS sending. After recharging check again if the messages are sending or not, if not then try the next solution.

3. Allow permission

Sometimes due to a lack of permission to send SMS, this error may emerge so you have to allow the iMobile app to send or receive SMS.

1. Long tap on the iMobile app’s icon then tap on the ‘App info’.
2. Now navigate to ‘App permissions‘.
3. Then tap on the ‘SMS’ section and click “Allow“.

5. Check the internet

Sometimes your current internet source becomes useless for using the iMobile app in such case you get such an error. Even some have reported that weak Internet can cause an interruption in verifying your authority.

So, try connecting to different Internet if available. If you have different network provider Internet then try using that, or if you have broadband WI-FI then try using that too, in some cases this solution works!
