NxComm SMS Verification

Waiting for an NxComm SMS verification code? First confirm which app you started the sign-up in; this page explains safe verification when the sender name is unclear.

NxComm appears in virtual-number providers' lists as a service that sends verification codes. A company called Nxcomm (Pte.) Ltd., registered in Singapore since 2009, develops wireless IoT products, mobile apps and cloud software, but according to a company profile it has stated that it does not send text messages to the public. We therefore could not verify which app the codes sent under this name belong to.

When the sender name is unclear, the right approach is to enter the virtual number in an app where you started the sign-up yourself and type the code only into that screen. A virtual number is a sensible buffer for not giving your personal number to a service you cannot fully identify. If no code arrives or the number is rejected, try the same service again with a different number.

If you receive a verification code under NxComm or any other name without requesting it, do not share it with anyone: someone may be trying to open an account with your number or get into one of yours. Messages promising money, crypto or rewards in exchange for a code are a sign of fraud. Do not tie important accounts to short-lived numbers, and add a recovery e-mail.
