High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria. A community member verified in February 2026 that new registration fails because SMS verification codes are not delivered to Syrian phone numbers, leaving the process stuck on a loading screen even though Syria appears in the country list. The team contacted the company in April 2026 asking it to review the restriction under current US sanctions rules; no response yet.
Contacted Company
Official outreach email sent to Signal Foundation at privacy@signal.org requesting review of Syria IP restrictions under the current OFAC and BIS framework.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Signal or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
Contact Signal Support:
No, Signal is currently blocked in Syria. Users in Syria cannot access this service. We are tracking the situation and advocating for change.
Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Signal directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
