7. "Enter your mobile number"

Reply to Dream Girl (Reply #4)

Jul 2021

Then it shows a US flag and a '1' in front of the place to enter the number. Nobody uses a 1 anymore. I now realize you must use 1 for landline calls, but you may also use it for cell phone calls. The signup didn't specify mobile #, it just asked for number and put a 1 in front of it.

But Uber has still locked out my cell number for an undetermined amount of time.

I think I'd best start over with a new email address for signup. But I have to use the same mobile number.

Thanks for the help.

I don't understand how Uber could sent anything to a landline. Why would they even collect Dream Girl Jul 2021 #1

No. Landline would be useless. Uber only works on mobile devices. Dream Girl Jul 2021 #4

A "1" does not mean landline, just that it precede the area code.all phone numbers begin with 1 Dream Girl Jul 2021 #12

I believe the "1" is the country. nt Phoenix61 Jul 2021 #5

Correct. US country code is 1 CurtEastPoint Jul 2021 #14

Why would they have a land line number in the first place? brush Jul 2021 #2
