Uber suddenly doesnt like voip numbers nor foreign SIM card cell numbers

Ive had uber for awhile. On my last trip, right when you press to order up an uber ride, the app gives some crap message about my phone number being not supported. It then says update it in your profile, which it wont let me do.

So I have another cell on me. Lucky me, Ill just sign up another account using my foreign sim. It is a data sim, but provides voip voice and a text app. Signup goes smoothly. I get the verification Tex, type in the code, then good to go. BZzzztttt!!! Same old crap, unsupported number.

So, two things come to mind:
- relax in the supported number crap. you got my credit card, CVV code, and home address already. That is good enough try to order $5,000 worth of computer stuff without a "supported phone number" problem conjured up by uber app.
- reject the number right off the bat. Making a potential customer go through all that only to find out at the very very end crap about the phone number is adding insult to injury

So I used a different provider. Had to. Uber forced me to not use them. Nice job.

Just show me the stuff about Uber, v3.246.2
