My account has been blocked for some reason.

When trying the:

Enter your phone number and we'll send you a security code We'll send a verification code in a text message. This helps us eliminate spam – we won't give out your number. The code will expire in about 10 minutes.

I keep getting: We cannot send a text message to this number.

Tried different mobile numbers, tried from different browsers and PCs Have tried forgetten password, but still keep getting my account blocked.

How do I get the code?

I see lots of other post about this, but none have worked for me.

    I'M WRITING THIS IN CAPITAL LETTERS BECASUE THIS TOOK ME AGES TO WORK OUT:

    IF YOU ARE GETTING THE: "WE CANNOT SEND A TEXT MESSAGE TO THIS NUMBER" TRY GOING THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS ON YOUR PHONES INTERNET AND DOING THE EXACT SAME THING.

    I TRIED USING MY LAPTOP TO SEND THE NUMBER TO MY PHONE WHICH NEVER WORKED, AS SOON AS I WENT THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS ON MY PHONES INTERNET BROWSER, IT DID.

    HOPE THIS AT LEAST HELPS ONE PERSON OUT THERE!!

    Yeah this worked for me!! At first i was trying to send the code while the phone connected to wifi, it didnt work. But when i switched to the mobile data, it sent me the code.

    Thanks a bunch!!!
