# No phone check

> You do not need a phone number or an SMS code to sign up or upload. A verified domain is the gate.

Phone verification is **Not planned**. We do not ask for a phone number or an
SMS code, at sign-up or at upload.

## What we decided

* Sign-up asks for no phone number and sends no SMS code.
* A video does not play until you verify a domain. The verified domain is the
  gate.

## Why

* A user must verify a domain to use the service. We do not need a phone check
  as well.
* We do not run an SMS service, so there is no phone step to keep working.

## What it means for you

* Go straight from sign-up to your first upload.
* Verify your domain before you expect a video to play. See
  [Accounts, projects and domains](https://docs.segmnt.cloud/accounts-and-projects.md#5-domains).
* Older guides may mention a phone step. Ignore it. You do not need to call
  any phone step in the API.
