I am trying to open a twitter account. A code is "texted" before the process can end. However, I do not use a cell phone but have e-mail. So, how can I get the code?

A password, without an account is like a key without knowing where the door is.
To make the passwords secure, they are not readable in a database, connected to your account.
But if you have your e-mail address, a phone number, or a user name, perhaps twitter can help you? go here:

From the help section:

How to change your password while you're logged in:

2. Click on the Password tab.
3. Enter your current password.
4. Choose your new password.

Recovering lost or forgotten password

You can create a Twitter account by making sure your signed out of Twitter and then try visiting: https://twitter.com/signup

Hope that helps.

While setting up an account you have to give in a e-mail account, to receive security messages. If you entered a wrong or non existing mail address you can't confirm. So open the mail account you gave twitter and look if you received a mail.

ou should also update your browser and twitter and a promising device driver again will solve the problem

I would take a look at this website, it will help you reset your password.

the dashes mean nothing. Are you sure your entering the right code? If your last phone also had the same carrier and setup and etc and its not working now then that is a very odd and unique problem; u should call in and ask. otherwise try using another code or using their long codes or something from this website http://support.twitter.com/entries/14226-how-to-find-your-twitter-short-long-code http://support.twitter.com/articles/87284-how-to-tweet-with-your-phone-if-your-carrier-is-not-listed

well your question is not so clear still i will try to answer you .
well as you have sign up twitter first you will be asked your e-mail id. so on that email id you will get conformation mail.. and also activation link
so as you open your mail and click on that activation link your account will get verified it self and then you will also get notification on that mail e.g. if somebody tweets you you will get mail on your mail. if you ar not getting confermation mail then try to signup again or delete account on twitter and sign up again.

Dear Sir,

plz folow this step to solve your problem,


I'm assuming you have unlimited texting or some sort of texting plan.

1. Log in to Twitter
2. In the upper right hand navigation bar, click Settings
3. Click the third settings tab, Devices
4. Add your phone number number, with country code first (+1 is the US country code; a US phone number would look like this: +14153368687 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting +14153368687 end_of_the_skype_highlighting)
5. Wait for the verification code to pop up
6. Text the verification code to Twitter using the number given in the devices page. US residents should always see 40404- if you see another number, you might've added the number in the wrong format.

Send text message updates to Twitter using these numbers:

* US: 40404
* Canada: 21212
* UK, Vodafone subscribers only: 86444
* Germany: +49 17 6888 50505
* Sweden: +46 737 494222 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting +46 737 494222 end_of_the_skype_highlighting
* India: 5566511 (note: this short code is still in beta, so if you can't use it, try our international number below.)
* All other countries: +44 762 4801423 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting +44 762 4801423 end_of_the_skype_highlighting Source(s): http://help.twitter.com/forums/59008/ent… Thanks For Your Time,
