Phone Verification Problem

[wolphire]

Okay, so basically I had gotten up to the verification stage few days ago, after many attempts, I got locked out for 48 hours. After 48 hours, it still showed the same message, I contacted the help centre and they reloaded the feature for me today, but the thing is, I tried my phone number many times again and got locked out. YES I am entering it correctly but it always shows-

‘Something was wrong with your number, check again’

Is this because I am living in Australia, but since I don’t have an actual phone I used a US phone number instead?? Maybe after 48 hours I’ll try my landline instead…

Can anyone help? I’ve contacted customer service for this, anyone else with this issue?

It’s quite possible it’s due to your location if you used a U.S. number instead of one where you live. If you don’t have a phone perhaps you can verify from a friend or family member home and use the option to receive a call instead of a text. If that doesn’t work, only Customer Support can help.

Has customer service said anything about locations before? I mean I see why, but I’m just curious.

The help article on it mentions country verification.
