Post Body

I want to make a purchase on Amazon and they asked for my phone number.

My question is - will they send an important text or some verification code? Or is it only for emergency reasons?

The reason why I ask such question is I live in Iran and it allowed me to register my number, but I’m curious if they’d send some important code and I wouldn’t receive it. I don’t want to make a purchase, lose my money and order because of a text which potentially might not come through.

I’d appreciate help. Thank you!
