1375126 2014-05-17 04:15:00 Went to check my Yahoo mail account online today, I haven't checked in a while but anyway

Entered username password, and it then came up with a phone verification thingie (same thing happens on my gmail account every few months), where you stick in your phone number and it txts you a code that you put into the box on screen etc

only problem is it keeps telling me to put in a valid phone number
lets pretend this is my number on Vodafone

There is a dropdown where you select

+64 New Zealand

0211234567

I have tried

+64211234567
00640211234567
0064211234567
0211234567
211234567

and about every variant I can think of

I am fairly sure it must start with

+64

because if it doesn't the dropdown reverts to the US.

But freaking hell i'm getting pissy

1375127 2014-05-17 21:56:00 Sounds like you have done all the combinations. +64 is the norm for these type of things if it's coming from an overseas server,. Some local one just want 0211234567 format.. paulw (1826)
1375128 2014-05-17 22:38:00 just 64 isn't it, no + sign. Lurking (218)
1375129 2014-05-18 01:18:00 General includes the + sign to indelicate an international number.. paulw (1826)
1375130 2014-05-18 02:23:00 Try putting in 06, 07, eg, whatever your area code is, in between the 64 and the 021 ?

1375131 2014-05-18 03:59:00 Cellphones don't have area codes.

Has your number ever been ported to another provider? Which cell company are you with?

1375132 2014-05-18 07:53:00 nope my number has never been ported always been with vodafone, also have a 2 degrees sim in the phone (dual sim) and that number wont work either

I have tried with and without the + sign

1375133 2014-05-18 08:07:00 Ok solved

I feel rather dumb now

Went to the "I have a problem with my password" Which I didn't, and it sent a txt to my phone no worries, so all is now good

Until the next time
