Hey team!

I'm having an issue with SMS OTP delivery to Australian phone numbers in my Appwrite Cloud project.

What's happening: account.createPhoneToken() completes without errors and a session.create event is logged in the console, but no SMS is ever received on the Australian number.

Confirmed details:

  • session.create event logged from IP
  • Reproduced with two different Australian numbers (+61)
  • Numbers are passed in valid E.164 format (e.g. +61444444444)

Code used: const token = await account.createPhoneToken(ID.unique(), "+61XXXXXXXXX"); // No error thrown, token returned successfully // But no SMS is received

Thanks!

TL;DR
Issue: SMS OTP not being delivered to Australian phone numbers in Appwrite Cloud project. - `account.createPhoneToken()` works without errors but SMS is not received on Australian numbers. - Confirmed details and code seem correct. Solution: The issue might be related to a problem with the SMS service provider or configurations specific to Australian numbers. Consider checking with the Appwrite support team for further assistance and troubleshooting steps.
