Twissue (Twitter issue)

Options
I just tried to retweet for a daily, and it wouldn't send it. Now my Twitter account in locked. To unlock it they want my phone number to send a code. It lists +44 for the UK I've tried typing my full number, plus missing the first digit out, then the first two digits, but when I click enter it says "Internal Error".

Anyone else getting the same?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

    I didn't have any problems with the phone number though, sorry I couldn't be of more help there.

    So did it let you unlock your account? Thanks

    I managed to unlock it. The problem was because I was using my landline number, and they wanted a mobile number to send a text with the code.

    Now then, do I carry on doing my dailies, and tweeting away, or would it be better to wait a while, in case it's a blip and it happens again? What do folks think?

    Thanks

    Yep, just tried following someone and it wouldn't let me and tried RTing a comp and it wouldn't let me and tried writing a tweet and it said 'This request looks like it might be automated.

    But it makes more sense that they block you. Clearly they're football fans :p:D

    I think I'm going to do other stuff and tweet again later. It would have to happen on a Friday, with all those Friday tweet comps - TCH!

    Thanks guys

    Thanks guys, I've just gone through all my dailys, including the one where I got locked out from, and it's fine again now, as Toni said.

    Twissue is sorted - no tissues needed :D
