Phone number

The phone number is only required from users, who registered their account after 16th of Oct, 2019 and want to access webmail and blogs. Users with older accounts currently can’t add a phone number to their profile as there’s no use for it for them.

To verify your phone number:

1. Type in your phone number (needs to be able to receive text messages and can’t be linked to other Vivaldi accounts);
2. Click Update;
3. Check your phone for the code;
4. Enter the code on the new page and click Submit.

In case you have trouble receiving the SMS, please get in touch with us below.

Once you’ve verified the phone number, it’s no longer possible to change it. But since there’s no other use for it at this stage, that’s ok. Should we add features that require the use of your phone in the future, we’ll make it possible to update the number.

If you really want to change the phone number, please get in touch with us via the contact form at the end of this article. Include the username and the current phone number in the message.

Trouble updating the profile?

In case you see an error message ‘Can’t verify the user‘ after clicking Update on the profile and you’re using an Extension called Dark Reader, please disable it and restart the browser. Then try updating your account information again. We’ve confirmed that Dark Reader breaks functionality on Vivaldi.net, but there may be other extensions causing this issue as well.

In case disabling extensions and trying again didn’t help, please report the issue to us using the contact form below.
