What the message means

7 fixes, in order

1. Re-enter the number. One wrong digit sends the code to someone else.
2. Ask once, then wait. Each new request counts toward the limit.
3. Try email or a call. Use another delivery option if the app offers one.
4. Turn off filters. Pause spam filters, blockers and Do Not Disturb, and allow short-code texts.
5. Update Dingtone or use the website. An old app version can fail at the code step.
6. Switch network. Try mobile data instead of Wi-Fi or the reverse, and turn off VPNs.
7. Wait out a limit. After "too many attempts", stop for a few hours.

About Dingtone

Dingtone gives you a second number over the internet. Those numbers are VoIP, so many apps refuse to send verification codes to them.

When your number never gets the code

If your own number never gets the code, a non-VoIP number from a real mobile carrier can. On SMS Pin Verify you can pick a USA number for Dingtone and read the code on your dashboard. A one-time number is held for 15 minutes and costs nothing if no code arrives; a rental keeps the same number for days, which you need if Dingtone will send a code again later.
