When I try to sign in to my GitHub account, I receive the following message:
"We tried sending an SMS to your configured number, but our SMS provider doesn't deliver to your area. Please contact support if you continue to have problems."
Previously, I was able to receive SMS messages on this number without any issues, but now it says that delivery is not supported in my area. As a result, I’m unable to access my account.

This is definitely a bug that needs to be reported to GitHub Support. Bangladesh (+880) should be in the country code list.

Quick fix for now:

1. Contact GitHub Support at https://support.github.com/
2. Report this as a bug - missing country code
3. They can manually update your account or add the country code

Alternative:

• If this is for 2FA/SMS verification, you might be able to use an authentication app (like Google Authenticator or Authy) instead, which doesn't require a phone number

This should be fixed by GitHub. Thanks for reporting it!

Hey there! 👋

Thanks for posting in the GitHub Community, @akib1050 ! We're happy you're here. You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting in the applicable category. The Accessibility category is a place for our community to discuss and provide feedback on the digital accessibility of GitHub products. Digital accessibility means that GitHub tools, and technologies, are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them.

I've gone ahead and moved this to the correct category for you, General.

We know 2FA may be a new process for some folks and with that comes questions. We put together a Troubleshooting Guide that may help answer your concerns above. If you still have more questions, feel free to ask them here.
