A feature that allows users in the U.S. to participate in GroupMe chats via standard text messages, without needing the app or internet access.
GroupMe sign-in and verification are tied to the phone number or email that was originally set up for the account. The provided information only covers:
- Verifying a college/university email for GroupMe Communities (via Discover on the web) using a PIN sent to that school email.
- Phone-number verification using a PIN sent by SMS, with guidance to contact support if the PIN is not received.
It does not describe any way to switch an existing login verification code from SMS to email when the phone is unavailable.
Given the constraints, the only supported path in this scenario is to contact GroupMe support so they can review available recovery options for the account.
Use the in-product or web “contact support” option described in the articles to reach them.
