Check whether the number is a VoIP service, because DoubleList explicitly does not accept VoIP numbers for account creation. Use an eligible working mobile number or landline that belongs to you. If an eligible number still cannot verify, contact DoubleList support with the account email and phone number.
Confirm that the verification code is being sent to the phone already attached to the profile. Regain access to that linked phone before attempting the email change, and remember the 30-day change limit. If the linked number is inaccessible, ask DoubleList support for account-specific assistance.
Use the email address you normally use to sign in and request the DoubleList reset link. Check the email inbox and spam folder because the documented password reset is email-based. If phone verification is separately failing, open the phone-verification support path rather than mixing the two processes.
