Phone number verification when signing up for Amazon AWS

Question

Amazon Web Services

Hello.

I wanted to create a microinstance on Amazon. Entered all the data, reached the verification of the phone number.
It does not go to a mobile call, but goes to a home one. A helpful robot with a female voice offers to enter a pin code.
This is where I'm probably doing something wrong. I have a regular push-button radiotelephone. PBX is probably analog. I dial the indicated numbers, but the robot does not like them.
Maybe someone had similar problems? How did you solve them?

Answer 1

And if you press * before entering the pincode?

Answer 2

You can always take a mobile phone and pipe the necessary DTMFs directly into your home phone.

Answer 3

Thanks everyone, the asterisk helped.

Answer 4

If when you press the buttons you hear a set of numbers (tyr tyr tyr ..), then the analog mode is on, if you hear modern "peaks", then this is a digital mode (only the robot on the other side will understand it). As indicated above, any push-button device can be switched to tone mode by pressing * before a set of numbers.

Answer 5

And it doesn’t work with or without an asterisk, it doesn’t matter.

Answer 6

From myself I will say that not every push-button device can tone. There were late-Soviet push-button devices without tone dialing. For example, a huge number of devices on microcircuits * VZh *.
KR1008VZH10, KR1008VZH17.
There, the "*" button, at best, was responsible for resetting and redialling, on the first such devices it did nothing.

Answer 7

Practice on someone else - large stores, banks, etc.

Answer 8

Previously, Amazon allowed you to dictate the number by voice.
It worked for me from the second time, and the tone dial did not work after the 10th.

Answer 9

The same problem, only I use Iphone 4s the call goes through, I dial the code and says something like not able to verify, if I dial with an asterisk, it says that the code is wrong.

Answer 10

Faced a similar problem. When the call was received on a mobile (WP8.1) there was no reaction to the entered numbers. When I received a call to a push-button home with tone dialing turned on, everything worked out.
Involuntarily, the thought comes that the MS is dirty.

Answer 11

Faced a similar problem.
First I tried it on MTS from the Nokia Lumia 520 . It did not work with an asterisk and without an asterisk (as they wrote here in the comments).
Then he took out his old Nokia 2630 phone , put in a Smarts SIM card and voila! Authorization went well!
