I made an account today, and seemed to get along fine with everything with no problem until I tried to verify my mobile device.
I followed all instructions; I put my phone number in the little box, clicked the button, and it gave me a code and a number to send the code to. I did just that, and it sent me back a reply asking for security measures, what my name was. I have a terrible memory, and thought they had asked my name when I registered; so I put 'Ashley'. Send. It sent me back a message saying I was set up for the account Ashley35. And I kind of went, "Uh, what the heck?" I searched up the username, and low and behold, every message I had sent via text was on this 'Ashley35' account. With some fooling around on Twitter, I managed to sign in on that account, delete my mobile number from it, and delete the account.
So I did something wrong, right? I figured if I just tell them what my username is, there isn't a problem. It should work this time.
Re-logged in on my account.
This time, when I verified my number and gave them my username, they made ANOTHER account and all it did was tack on the little number one to the end of the username I ALREADY had. What the heck, again! So I did the same thing with the first account; got into that account it just created, deleted my number, deleted the account.
So now, I have no way of setting up my mobile number for twitter, because it just keeps creating me a new account when I want to use my own!
Is there any way to solve this problem?
