  Hi,

  I am now able to login with the account I was having trouble with yesterday. I noticed now, however, I’m receiving verification codes from Polish numbers. Is that correct?
  Don’t need the SMS anymore, since I’m using the Google Authenticator now, so now I’m also wondering why the heck I keep receiving these messages, but okay….

  Hi @ilsemulauthor, could these be the SMSs you were missing yesterday? I found your older post that you resolved yourself; can you let us know what you did to get it working? That may help us sort this out.

  I got a verification code through SMS after I had send an email to the email address I got provided through twitter from @wordpressdotcom.

  So I thought it was solved that way.

  Of course it is possible these were the SMS’s I was missing, but….. from Poland?????

  We send from various locations & usually try to match one that’s close to you. Did this cause a problem for you?

  Ah, that explains it then. No, it didn’t cause a problem (except maybe the SMS’s with the verification codes arrived a day late?). I just didn’t expect it coming from Poland. And with all that news about hackers and such targeting countries that will have elections coming up, like the Netherlands do, I thought I’d better be careful anyway :)

  Well, since I now no why I got SMS’s from a polish number, I guess this is solved :)
