  I cannot register my phone number. It won’t accept the number and says it needs to be entered with the international country code. I have seen other reports of this issue without any response. Please advise. I would really like to get going but I cannot move forward at this point.

  Thanks.

  When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. I did that for you. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  Hi there,

  Let’s see if we can get to the bottom of this.

  When you are attempting to register your domain, what country code are you putting in for your phone number, and what country are you currently in?

  Im using the U.S. code… so for example 01-1-555-555-5555

  What is the exact format we should enter?

  It should just be +1.555.555.5555

  No need for the additional 01 in front. The US uses a “+1” to indicate US dialing which takes the place of the initial 1 which is dialed when dialing within the US.

  So in other words, it stays more or less the same.

  That is what I originally tried and am still having no luck completing my registration. What’s the next step. I really want to get this up and running. Thanks for your help.

  Hi Colleen,
  Could you try the following format and let me know if it works: +1.555-5555
  One . only, between the country code and the phone number.

  Ok, none of the following formats are working.

  1-555-555-5555
  1.555.555.5555
  15555555555
  1(555)555-5555
  1(555)-555-5555
  1-(555)-555-5555

  So sad…please advise. Feel free to email at (email visible only to moderators and staff)
