I'm using FTX exchange I don't experience this issue I tried to request an SMS 2FA code and I receive the code instantly without any email saying that SMS 2fa is down. The issue might be in your sim provider try other sims it might work or FTX 2fa SMS is currently not available in your country.

Why not switch to the 2fa app instead because this SMS issue is known problematic compared to using the 2fa app? Just make sure to backup the secret key.

It is terrible when you choose SMS as a method for your Two-Factor Authentication.

Sim swap attack is one of risk with SMS.
Unstable or disable of SMS receiving from foreigner senders can be a serious issue and you don't know when it will happen and how long will you have to wait until it is fixed.

If you activate 2FA, you must avoid SMS and email code. Use authenticator application and install it on a device that is not install an exchange application and have your email log in.

For the last few days, I have been getting this error message that FTX SMS services are down and therefore I am getting my 2fa code on my email.
I am writing here to know if this is only in my region or if people from different countries are facing this issue.
Also, if this is a known issue, is any timeline shared by FTX as to when it will be resolved?
