Well, are you a real person? Yes, this is the question MeetMe tries to answer when you are asked for your phone number verification.
For meetme phone number verification, you will need a mobile phone or a home phone. Once you have entered your phone number in the app, meetme will send you a text message with a confirmation code. Take note that normal carrier fees may apply. Also, take note that Meetme doesn’t send text messages to “free SMS apps” or allow you to use voice over IP services like Skype and Google Voice. If you’re not here don’t panic I am going to start in more detail from the beginning:
- First, download the MeetMe app on the google play store.
- Then fill in the required info into the app including your phone number ( home or mobile)
- MeetMe will then send you a verification text directly to your number.
- Enter the verification code and you are done.
There you go, you can now proceed into your big find.
MeetMe Uses Phone Number Verification in the Following Ways:
- Stop registration of fake numbers or accounts. These include the creation of multiple accounts using a single phone number, thus the need for verification.
- To monitor suspicious users. Well, in this case, MeetMe asks for phone numbers to determine if the account is fraudulent.
- Finally, to verify if you are human. CAPTCHA comes in handy in this case to separate humans from computers.
Verifying MeetMe Account Without a Phone Number:
Yes, this is possible. Not much hustle just follow either of these two ways:
- Use your email address where the verification code will be sent directly to your email inbox
- Send an email to MeetMe customer support. The following information should be included in your email; Full name, Country/state, and Email address you use for MeetMe.
During the verification, it is rare, but you may experience some problems.
