I don't think you can use a number from another country... The form had the country code (1 for USA) preselected, so if you enter another number you will not receive the code.

I agree that country code 1 is preselected. But cannot that be changed to something else if needed?

Well, there is a drop-down list, but everything in it is 1, so, you cannot change it.

That's stupid. Thanks for letting me know.

Since I have a US phone number, I never tried changing it -- I just assumed that the option was there since the developer bothered to code it. Perhaps that feature is planned for the next version.

...well I'm registered in Germany , but don't know if this is the same drop down list as the one US users see.
I've got a drop down list with a variety of different country codes where I can freely choose +49 for Germany and another empty field for the area code and the phone number.

Unfortunately this field only allows the input of ten digits , but 11 would be needed.
My Mac OS is set to US ,maybe this causing the issue?

Well, sometimes you've got to change it and wait and see whether or not they ban you...............

My case: .uk account - the form had the country code selected. Except it was +376 i.e. Andorra. Yeah, whatever.

I have a UK e-rewards account and got what I assume is the same (or similar) drop-down list. I nearly made the mistake of entering my 11-digit German cellphone, but caught myself jyst in time. Fortunately I have a UK number which still receives SMS.

Presumably I am able to use an 11-digit +49 number for my German account?

This should serve for validation purposes, that is if your account is in the UK, you have to input an UK phone number. UK account and Andorra does not make any sense, probably a bug...

Yes, I had redeemed for Accor with the cellphone security, and it posted in the normal 7-10 days.
From past experience, IHG always post the night between Monday-Tuesday US time for redemptions made for the past week. Once it took 2 weeks and then posted Monday-Tuesday night.

I tested it out by redeeming for the lowest BA Avios award and it posted very quickly.
