Describe your suggestion

I can't verify my phone number to ask questions on Discord. When ask for support staff of discord this is their reply: I had tried with some numbers too but it didn't work.( ALL of them are real number that have already registered ) Is there anyways else to start chatting in our community? ( or can you turn off verify phone in order to chat?)

Send a DM to ModMail account and you'll be able to converse with the moderation team to potentially grant you an exception. IIRC Discord doesn't accept some of the phone carriers and for sure doesn't like various services that provide phone numbers that are not your usual big carriers.

EDIT:

This is unfortunate, Discord is very strict about these phone numbers. I am not sure what our Maintainers and Mods ...and there you go

Closing this issue as it's a Discord concern as opposed to a repo-related concern. But thanks for raising the issue @loimaxto - the form above that Fred linked will be the best way to go.
