Im using Signal v7.15 on an OGSE with ios 15.8.2 Was trying to change my phone number but I keep having problems in receiving the OTP. Error message says there is an external failure but does not explain why. Possible solution to this? TIA

OGSE?

What country code is your phone number in? Are you trying to register from the same country?

Are you using a VPN?

1st-gen iPhone SE, maybe?

I would say turn off the VPN to change the number and then put it back on
