I need help with authenticating my IMDb account without a cell phone number since I don't have one.

Then can you please put the credit card number option back on the page for me?

I am a user of the site, not staff. I have no control over the display of information on pages of the site.
I was not aware that the option to use credit card has been removed though. Looking at the authentication FAQ page, the credit card option seems to have been removed. The only way now seems to be using a cell phone. http://www.imdb.com/help/search?domain=helpdesk_faq&index=1&file=authenticationtopfaq&re... Sorry for the false into above about use of credit card numbers.
Are you, by any chance, the Jack that has been posting about Land Before Time on many of the boards? If so, you should take the hint that IMDb is sending you by revoking your account authentication. And, if so, I would suggest you stick to the core features of the site and skip posting on message boards anyway...which is the recommendation in the help area if you are having problems keeping an account in good standing. If it's not you, I apologize (though if your authentication was also removed, perhaps you're in the same boat as he).
