SMS OTPs usually arrive only when your phone is on your home network. When you’re roaming abroad, many carriers either delay or completely block OTP delivery for security or policy reasons, so you may not receive them at all while overseas. If you need OTPs while traveling, check with your carrier for international SMS support or use an alternative verification method like email or an authenticator app.
