Question

Cannot verify phone number for new Contributor account (+380 error)

Hello!
I am trying to register a new Adobe Stock Contributor account from Ukraine. My email is successfully verified, but I am completely stuck on the mandatory phone verification step.
Every time I enter the phone number (+380...), the system shows the error: "An error occurred while performing this action. Please try again later."
I have already tried:
• Changing browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) and using Incognito mode
• Using mobile data instead of Wi-Fi
• Trying two different phone numbers and devices
• Clearing cache and cookies
I also sent an email to contributor support yesterday, but haven't received a reply yet. Could an Adobe Moderator or Employee please escalate this issue to the Contributor Relations team so they can activate my account or verify the number manually?
Thank you in advance for your help!

    Try verification during off-peak-hours when your phone provider is less busy.

    Also, allow 12 hours to receive the SMS text verification code.

     

    Good luck.

    Use the “Contact us” link at the bottom of your account page to send a ticket to Adobe asking for their assistance in verifying your number. Include what you did and the error message that you got.
