Is this a way to create the secure platform , no never ever… We are looking for some positive steps to overcome from this problem ASAP.

Added a mobile via long code method. Still no way of adding Read & Write access.

Same problem.
it’s a pain!!!

Same problem…Mobile number needed and none of the carriers from India are supported.

Same problem. I have listed 3 mobile operators at Twitter, I have 3 mobile phones and each one from different operator (listed) in Croatia, and I still receive message “Sorry, we don’t have a connection to your carrier yet!”.
I cannot proceed with App, what to do?

Why twitter did this unless they would have supported even few carriers from india and other countries. Are not they aware number of developers use their api to develop applications from india. Hope they will sort this issue out soon.

Here is the solution for adding phone number for India.

  • Sign In using mobile.twitter.com (you can also use this from browser using your desktop).
  • Go to Settings at the bottom.
  • Click on Phone->“Add” link.
  • Add your phone number. Any carrier will work, :slight_smile: yeah!!!
  • Click “manage” link which comes on next screen.
  • You will get an sms on that mobile number, put that code here and you are all set to go.

Now you can add apps and change permission too for apps.

the stupid. it hurts.

Works like a charm! I’ve trieded everything - my mobile phone was rejected due to the carrier issue. But this worked. Genius!

Why is a cell phone a requirement to grant write access to an app? It makes no sense. Cell phones are ways to track your every movement with GPS. I don’t have one that works. I’ve been developing systems for over 40 years and haven’t seen such a stupid requirement to hinder development as this one.
A regular phone number, if one is required at all is good enough. Why not use that?

Now i can create app without mobile number :slight_smile:

First,sign up in with an app in your phone without an phone number,after this done,try adding your phone number in “Settings and help” of your account,if Twitter keeps saying “Sorry, we don’t have a connection to your carrier yet!” after trying to add a number to the profile,just contact the custom service:https://support.twitter.com/forms,they will contact you soon.problem solved~ :slight_smile:

how i m also facing same issue.

It’s working on android phone as well :). Thanks !!

What happened with me is funny…
I have one mobile number, and 30 twitter accounts for products of one company, and i have to create 30 apps for them, so that they share the related products to the stream… just imagine hehhehehee

I used to get into each account, add my phone and verify it, create the app, get back to the settings and remove the number!

it took me 3 days to complete the apps, because twitter didn’t allow me to “overuse” the same number.

now im trying to test the sharing module, it is not working, im not sure if the component has problems or the twitter don’t allow me to use the apps if there are no phone registered as well!!!

i will tell you what happens… if you have any detail, please inform me

regards

Update: all carriers are now supported!

Hi aaronhoff,

Im from Argentina, nearly desperate trying to create an App since more than one month, tried with both biggest carriers of my country, severl numbers, all the number formats you can imagine, tried with a friend Mexican number, and also with a sonetel.com US number. I never got the confirmation code. The situation is very dissapointing, since i created an App in the past without any mobile number in the middle.

I also filled a form trying to get help from support, and nothing.

Is there something to do, besides pointing me to the supported carriers page?

Thank you,
Maritin.

I work at a software house and I need to create a development application and an application on the clients account, neither of which are people or have numbers.

This is upsetting, I understand you want to prevent platform abuse but this is getting in the way of legitimate work. I am blocked on my project until a support person gets me past this problem.

I was going to create an app for my Raspberry Pi using a separate twitter account, but I can’t really do that now because I like having security on my personal twitter.
This is a stupid idea. Unless you are creating public apps, I don’t see why you need a number. If it’s a private app and not freely available anywhere, you should be free to do whatever you want.

i have the same problem to
