Come on, Facebook, get with it.

I’m trying to verify my account, right? It asks me for a mobile number. I give it my properly formatted UK mobile.

I get an error message from them.

Duh.

It’s simply not good enough for an internationally recognised service like Facebook to be limited to using a US text messaging gateway. Get real. Get with it. Phone up a UK aggregator, get an account, get it fixed. Or better still, call up Clickatell, tell them you saw their ad on SMS Text News and are looking for a reeeeelly good deal — and get connectivity for the rest of the world.

Shite, isn’t it? A billion dollar company like that and their developers can’t be arsed to sort out an international gateway.
