Just a heads up - The Regex on the cell phone Number verification was so bad I couldn't create an account. I tried every possible method of entering my number.. couldn't get past the form.

Maybe sometimes you need more than a visual check =)

Thanks very much for that feedback! it needs to be in the format of [country code][phone number] for example +1555555555

We'll push through an update that should make this a little better - drop down for country then free text for phone number (that accepts spaces etc)

I ran into the same problem, then found that the phone number wasn't required to make an account.
Thanks very much, yes it's optional, but validated - very confusing, we'll drop out the hard validation and make it a little more intuitive to enter a number
