WeChat signup issue on Telkom Mobile

[Alkine]

I'm having issues signing up with WeChat on telkom. For some reason instead of sending me an SMS code like most apps, WeChat asks me to send a code to this number: +27872406742. Only issue is that the sms fails to deliver. It works fine on other networks. Telkom has been less than helpful to say the least.

I have two questions:
1. Can anyone on Telkom mobile test if they have the same issue.
2. Is there a way to use the assist a friend functionality in WeChat to help me sign up.

Help will be much appreciated. I signed up for a multi park cycle pass and it uses WeChat for some reason.

Does not work here either, I contacted support which had to send info to china lol

Also cannot sign up with vodacom, need another wechat user to verify you.

They really do make it hard to join!

I've contacted WeChat support as well - multiple times - and have not had any response.

Wechat, just replied. Saying my account is good to go, will try it out now.

I am back online!

But this is for Vodacom?

How did you get through to them ? Would you be able to verify me please

Hi there

I just came across this thread. I am with Telkom Mobile and I am having a lot of trouble signing in to my much needed Wechat account for the exact same reason! Have you had any luck figuring out what to do to fix it? Any help will be appreciated as I literally do not know where to next!

Had no luck.

Mannnnn... I am going to a Telkom Mobile store this week and I will sit there until someone helps me! Will let you know if I had any luck

Had no luck.

I doubt they will be able to help . Since it’s a 3rd party application.
Your best bet is finding someone in China to verify you . That’s what I eventually did

I landed here because I am having problems with wechat, I am on Telkom Mobile too.
