Nexon SMS Verification

From MapleStory to The Finals: learn how to pass the Nexon SMS verification step with a virtual number while keeping your game account secure.

Nexon is a game company founded in Seoul in 1994 by Kim Jung-ju and headquartered in Tokyo since 2005; it has been listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange since 2011. Its most famous titles include MapleStory, Dungeon & Fighter, KartRider, Mabinogi, Blue Archive and The Finals. Because accounts hold in-game purchases, some regions and services may ask for phone verification to confirm ownership.

You can move on by entering the code that arrives on a virtual number at the verification screen, which helps players who want to keep a game account apart from their personal number, or whose local number does not receive codes. Identity checks used by Nexon services in Korea, however, usually require a line registered in your own name and cannot be completed with a virtual number.

If your Nexon account is linked to a platform account such as Steam, check in advance what details recovery would require. If you used a short-lived number, verify your e-mail address and turn on two-step verification where it is offered. Sites promising cheap in-game currency or account sales carry fraud risk and can get your account closed.
