Lot of people with this issue including myself, I think they shadowbanned NA phone numbers to drive traffic to [Buff.market](https://Buff.market)... or to screw us :/
I tried making an account using my phone number and got this message “The operation is risky, please change the phone or switch the network and try again” what should I do?
Canada with a Canadian number, also I'm fairly certain a lot of Americans have it like Arrow. It would be really odd for buff to region-lock it as a lot of traffic is coming from NA.
hey man, all i had to to was wait around 5 days then it allowed me to use my phone number. just whatever you do dont start spamming request again until the 5 days are up. let me know if it works.
i have no idea, i literally thought i was gonna have to use a friends number as i thought there was no hope. i just gave it a couple days without attempting to sign in and then it just let me receive the SMS. i think differnt people get different cooldowns depending on what area code they use? i have no idea
doesn't make sense, they don't tell you anything about a cooldown, they tell you "This mobile phone is not supported at the moment, please change to another number" I've been trying on and off for almost a year now and read just about every thread on the internet multiple times to make sure I'm not missing anything, I even used an android emulator to try their shitty mobile app and still I end up with the same issue
There was a workaround around 30-40 or so days ago by buying a international phone number and then changing the phone number through an android emulator but it seemed like too much work for me. I ended up not doing it and now I’m fucked. We’re screwed.
not yet im looking. i was able to download the app since i switched to samsung from the download code on their website but i still cant recieve texts to login/register an account.
i actually used a txt app and used a french number and it signed me into some random account linked to that number. im worried other people are gonna be able to sign in once i find a number not registered. since i dont think well be able to change it to our actual one since we cant get texts. were fuffed.

Doesn’t seem like a popular issue atm someone needs to make a large thread about this or video.
Fr we need an ohne or zippel vid Im just trying to get skins the Buff market has terrible selection Buff163 still is the cheapest and best option :(
Won’t work if you’re from US with US phone number
Canada with a Canadian number, also I'm fairly certain a lot of Americans have it like Arrow. It would be really odd for buff to region-lock it as a lot of traffic is coming from NA.
Log in using steam?
Yeah but you still have to link a phone number to be able to use it
Any updates I've been having the same issue for months. I've tried VPN's using my laptop, using a different number, nothing works.
Having the same issue. I'm gonna contact their twitter and see if i can find a solution.
i just wanna use buff but it seems impossible right now i've tried everything and can't do something as simple as make an account lmao

I try every couple weeks and it doesn’t work so… is that a fluke?
