Hi guys, we thought we had fixed the bug, but it appears not. We're working on fixing it, please send a request to support or help @ twitter.com with the email subject "invalid pin" and include a short description with any errors, or what procedures you've used or tried to use to get it to work. We should have a fix soon, I'll post all updates in the main thread here:

i've got the same issue. Is it worth "deleting and starting over"? Or is the problem going to reoccure?

Addenda: My acquaintance uses a prepaid UK O2 tariff - and asks me to say that the "Invalid PIN" problem began within 1 day (not 3) of initial registration. – Eridanus, on July 02, 2008 09:01

This highly frustrating though apparently rare problem resurfaces from time to time.

Thanks, Magic Weaver!

I don't know if Delete and start over? works for everyone with this problem, but a very frustrated Twitter newcomer acquaintance just solved it this way. Details:

- UK user; access via Twitter's international Manx No. +44... (rare lucky UK customer, whose carrier treats the Manx No. as an inland UK No. - but that's off topic here).

- Tweeting from cellphone immediately worked perfectly.

- Three days later, all cellphone tweet attempts returned "Invalid PIN" error.

- Today's Delete and start over? solved the problem: I'm now receiving tweets from my acquaintance's cellphone.

It seems the only way to remove the pin to is to click the "Delete and start over?" button for the mobile phone THEN re-verify your mobile number again.
