Solution

What number do I send the text to?

Send the 8-digit code to 07860041697.
Note: This number is chargeable at your mobile network provider’s standard rate.


Will I get confirmation of a successful login or logout?

By default, confirmation texts are not sent. This can be enabled, but may incur additional charges.


On a double-up visit, do both employees need to send a text?

Yes, each employee must send their own text message.


What if no numbers are displayed on the Verify device?

After pressing the CODE button, if no 8-digit code appears, return the device to your Head Office. They can arrange a replacement through Ezitracker.


Frequently Asked Questions

Is the text free?
No. Texts to 07860041697 are charged at your mobile provider’s rate.

What if I forget to log in or out?
Contact your Ezitracker Administrator. They can manually update your timesheet so you can continue using the Verify device.

Can I save the text and send it later?
No. The 8-digit code is time-sensitive. Sending it later will result in a mismatch and may cause errors in your timesheet.

What if I get it wrong?
You may receive an error message if the text is incorrect or the device is not set up properly.
