  • Hey there, Thank you for reaching out Error 1618 is tied to the SMS / phone verification system Bungie uses to protect certain activities. There’s currently a known uptick in 1618 / phone verification issues, so in many cases it’s not something you did wrong on your end. We are aware of this issue and are currently investigating. A few things you can try that sometimes help: Check the number & carrier Make sure you’re using a mobile / cell number, not VOIP (Google Voice, Skype, etc.) or landline. Enter it in your country’s normal format (including country code where required). Turn off VPNs, aggressive ad‑blockers, or privacy extensions in your browser. Try a different browser or device (desktop browser usually works best).

    • Get in line my friend. There are a ton of us waiting. It's been months at this point and no mention of when this will be fixed. Sorry my friend, but its a waiting game for now.
