I went through the process of creating an account, got a verification code in my e-mail and then I got to create a password. Then they don't give me access. They ask me for a phone number.

Though I'd check to make sure they're legit before using one. <cite>Nemu posted [p:964253426] in Why does T...

I read Twitter was blocking virtual numbers apps because of spam accounts. Also, doesn't that mean i'll be linking my phone number to Google? <cite>VayneSolo posted [p:964253445] in Why does T...
