I submitted IRP5 and I got sms to verify my account number. I didn't get any email from SARS and there was no letter in my efiling. I only got sms. What must I do?

It says "Dear Taxpayer, verify your banking details for tax ref no. ***** at a SARS branch. Visit www.sars.gov.za/call 08000007277 for info on supporting docs
