Hi! I am a rookie here. I am living in Sri Lanka and trying to verify my mobile number. However, I am getting this error "The phone number that you provided is prohibited on HubPages due to previous transgressions, and cannot be used to verify your account".
Does anyone have any idea about this? Is there a solution or an alternative?
Thanks,
Rehaza
Hello Rehaza,
Click on Help, top right, and follow the instructions to get in touch with the team. I believe their email address has changed recently so fill in the contact form.
I am facing a different but problem with mobile number verification. In the Earnings section, there is Amazon Affiliate Program. I tried to activate it and it prompts me for mobile number verification. When I click on 'send me text message" for the code verification, the message never comes. Also the 'Call me" option does not help. When I receive the call from Amazon, it just says "We are sorry, an application error has occurred".
This is an Amazon problem, so you will need to contact them directly. Have you followed the instructions to set up an Amazon affiliate account? There's an article that should help in the Learning Center.
I'm not sure how easy or difficult it is, these days, to set up a new Amazon affiliate account. When I joined I had to submit my own website for verification.
Hope someone here can clarify for you.

We are in the early testing stages of SMS (text message) based account verification. Before we can deploy this widely, we need to determine how reliable the SMS gateway we are using is at delivering, especially to non-U.S. numbers. Please give it a try...

I am trying to publish my first Hub, but it requires phone call verification. I attempted the call twice, but both times the phone call had nothing on the other end. The third time I tried, I was blocked for 24 hours for having tried to verify too many times. Is this a glitch, or...
