Have you recently ported your number over from a different carrier? Does your phone work with any other shortcode like Twitter? Are you able to send/receive text messages from other people? I can help test this right now if you want to email your mobile number to lesleyATbrightkiteDOTkom. – Lesley, on August 18, 2008 21:37

I'm on a Sprint plan & live within the US.
I have yet to get my mobile confirmation & have tried numerous times.

What format are you trying to enter your phone number (10 digit, 1+)? – Lesley, on July 11, 2008 17:35

I have a Sprint phone with an unlimited data and messaging plan, and I'm not receiving messages from BrightKite either -- even though I'm getting them fine from other people.

We use Open Market (http://openmarket.com/) as our aggregator, so unfortunately if they do not support a carrier, we do not either. – Lesley, on June 30, 2008 22:36

Thanks for the update. Disappointing, but good to know. Is there anything I can do as a customer of UNICEL to encourage them to work with you or is it more that you haven't applied to work with them? – Morgan Aldridge, on June 30, 2008 22:32

Morgan, it looks like UNICEL is not a supported carrier. You should still be able to send texts to your @bkite.com email listed under Account Settings -> Mobile. Here you can find our mobile email guide: http://brightkite.com/help/email_guide – Lesley, on June 30, 2008 22:23

I have a Motorola RAZR V3. I do not have a pay-as-you-go-plan. It's a standard nationwide plan with a data plan (but no bulk text message plan). – Morgan Aldridge, on June 30, 2008 19:19

Morgan, what kind of phone do you have? Do you have a pay-as-you-go plan? – Lesley, on June 30, 2008 18:55

I'm also not getting my confirmation code to my cell phone. My carrier is UNICEL in Vermont.

I've tried multiple times over the last 24 hours with no luck. I've tried entering my phone number as +1802NNNNNNN, 802NNNNNN, and 802-NNN-NNNN.

Looks nice. I've been leaving comments for people, but they seemed to just sit there.

Hooray for making them more prominent- and I'd love to see that trend continue, e.g. by making them drop down from the original post without loading a new page.

Keep up the good work, guys. It's fun to see the progress.

There is now a comment tab where you can see all the comments people have left for your posts/checkins. :)
