How Do I Change My Phone Number On Amazon
Okay, so you've got a new digits-do? A fresh line? Maybe you're running from a rogue squirrel who's been ordering bulk nuts to your old number (it happens!). Whatever the reason, you need to update your Amazon account. Fear not, friend, it's easier than convincing your cat that the vacuum cleaner is a friend.
Let’s dive right in!
First things first: Getting to the Right Place
Grab your phone (the one with the new number, naturally!). Open that glorious Amazon app.
Must Read
Tap those three little lines at the bottom right. They’re sometimes called the “hamburger menu,” which, frankly, always makes me hungry.
Navigating the Digital Labyrinth
Now, scroll down, down, down, until you see "Account." Give it a tap!
On the "Account" page, you'll be presented with a smorgasbord of options. Look for "Login & Security." It might be hiding, but it's there, waiting to be discovered.
Behold! The Phone Number Portal
You've found it! On the "Login & Security" page, you should see "Mobile Phone Number." Next to it, there's a handy-dandy "Edit" button.
Tap "Edit" like you're tapping your way to a mountain of discounted yarn (or whatever your heart desires on Amazon).
The Moment of Truth: Inputting the New Digits
Here's where the magic happens! You'll see a field where you can type in your brand-spankin'-new phone number. Type carefully! We don't want any typos sending your notifications to a random pizza parlor in Poughkeepsie.
Select your country code from the dropdown menu. You know, the little flag thingy.
Then, type in the rest of your number without any extra spaces or dashes. Just the pure, unadulterated digits.
Verification: Because Amazon Loves You (and Security)
Once you've entered your number, Amazon will want to make sure it's actually you. Prepare for a verification code!
They'll send a text message to your new phone number with a super-secret code. It's like a tiny digital hug from Amazon.
Enter that code into the verification box on the Amazon app. Do it quickly, though! Sometimes those codes expire faster than a free sample at Costco.
The Sweet Taste of Success
If everything goes according to plan (and it almost always does), you'll see a confirmation message that your phone number has been updated. Huzzah!
You've conquered the digital beast! Now, you can rest easy knowing that all your Amazon notifications, delivery updates, and special offers will be heading to the right place.
Go forth and shop (responsibly, of course… mostly)!
Bonus Tip: Double-Check Everything!
Just to be extra sure, log out of the Amazon app and log back in. Make sure your new number is displayed correctly in the "Login & Security" settings.
It's always better to be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to your precious Amazon account.
And Finally
Give yourself a pat on the back and go celebrate with a small Amazon purchase. You deserve it! Updating your number is complete!
