Note

A Note About Duplicate Mobile Phone Numbers: During account creation, editing your account, or any time the verification process is required, an error message will display if the system detects that a mobile number or email address has already been entered and verified by another user (duplicate). If you encounter an error message while validating a mobile phone number, please use your unique email address for validation instead, and ensure your “preferred method of contact” is set to Email Address until a unique number can be used.

The system will allow a duplicate mobile phone number to be saved in your profile unless it is used for verification. At that time, the system will not allow the duplicate mobile number to be a preferred method of contact. If this happens, please verify your unique email address and use that credential when signing in.

Info

Many times duplicate mobile numbers happen when cellular phone carriers re-issue or recycle phone numbers to new customers. Unfortunately, even if a mobile phone number is new and unique to you now, it may have also been attributed to an existing user in our system in the past.
