I have a problem with "Verify Your Account by SMS" page.

Does anyone know how to verify one's account if you are living in
Argentina?

I entered my number in the format required by the verificator but it
always gives "Mobile Number or Username" error.

Regards,
Víctor

You must put +549 as country code, followed by area code without 0 and
cell phone number without 15 =)... ^_^

Example for Entre Ríos 0343-154222222:
+5493434222222

I think I know exactly what happened. Hopefully this will help Google
fix the issue.

About a week ago I did use my phone for account verification for App
Engine. I did get the code and I typed it in. Then I was presented
with a form to create my 1st app, but I navigated away as I really
didn't want to create one at that particular time. I thought I was
verified so I could come back and create apps at any time. A week
later I came back and the system wants to verify again but it doesn't
like my phone number anymore.

My theory is that because I "verified" already my phone number doesn't
work, but because I have no apps the system wants to verify again.

Hi Luis,

We store verification details independently of any created apps, so
that's unlikely to be the problem. Is the account you're using a
Google Apps one (eg, not @gmail.com)? If so, you need to log in at
http://appengine.google.com/a/yourdomain, not just
http://appengine.google.com.

In any case, I've activated the gmail account you're using.

Hi,
I am also having problems with SMS account verification. I keep
getting "Mobile Number or Username" error.
I'm from Sydney, Australia. I type +61 and mobile number (no area code
needed).

Can I get some advice? Thanks very much!
