# Change your mobile number

Change the mobile number on your MyAccount profile yourself, on **Basic Details**, by verifying a
code sent to the new number; you do not need a support ticket. Your two-factor codes by text message
go to the new number from then on. When the account owner changes their number, the account's
contact numbers change too.

## Before you begin

Check that:

- You can sign in to MyAccount. If your old number no longer receives your sign-in code, sign in
  with one of your backup codes; see
  [Sign in and trust a device](/myaccount/account/how-to/sign-in-and-trust-a-device/#enter-your-second-code).
- The phone with the new number is at hand to receive a text message.
- If you are the owner and plan to change the owner email soon, change the email first. Changing
  the owner's mobile number blocks an owner email change for 30 days.

## Change the number

1. Go to **Billing** > **Manage Profile**. **Manage Customer Profile** opens. Open the
   **Basic Details** tab, which shows your mobile number.
2. Click the pencil beside your mobile number. **Mobile Number Verification** opens.
3. Choose the country, from the same list as sign-up, and enter the new number. Click **Send OTP**.
   A code is sent to the new number.
4. Enter the code within 3 minutes, and pass the robot check.
5. Click **Update**. MyAccount shows **Your mobile number and profile is successfully updated**.
   **Cancel** closes **Mobile Number Verification** without changing your number.

If the code does not arrive, click **Resend SMS** after 60 seconds. For a +91 number,
**Receive OTP over call** appears after one resend, and a phone call reads the code to you. After
several requests, MyAccount stops sending codes to that number for 30 minutes. Wait, then try
again.

## What changes

- Your two-factor codes by text message go to the new number.
- For the account owner, the account's contact numbers change to the new number too.
- For the account owner, an owner email change is blocked for 30 days. See
  [Change the account owner](/myaccount/account/how-to/change-the-owner-email/).

Your profile has its new number. To check it, open **Basic Details** again. To use an authenticator
app instead of text messages, see
[Set up two-factor authentication](/myaccount/account/how-to/set-up-two-factor-authentication/).
