Hi, mine is a different one. I have reactivated my account and would like to change the phone number. I tried to change, it is refusing and giving my error and I am being asked to confirm the old phone number, which is out of use because I moved countries. How do I enter an active phone number. I also noticed only today that the nationality is wrong. I need to change that too.
