Phone Number Verification Error

The phone number verification system is stuck in a loop for me for me- while setting my profile up, in the phone number step, the box with my phone number has a green check next to it that says verified.

 

However, the next step in setting up my profile is still the 'enter code' step. On that page, I cannot input any code because there is a red error message that says I failed to verify my phone number, and must provide a different one. This sends me back to the phone number page, where my phone number is locked in with the green check mark, and I can't change it. From there it takes me back to the enter code step, and I can't seem to break out of this cycle. Help?

Hi Alex, 


I checked your account and it looks like you are yet to fill-in your mobile number in the Create Profile page. Please type-in your mobile number in the respective field and resubmit your profile for the team's review.

Hello.  Same thing is happening with me, except when I enter my mobile phone number, I get a message that "This number is being used by another account."  So I can't complete my profile.  And I can't go any further without being told to complete my profile.  Stuck in a loop, help!

I am having trouble. I do not have cell service here so cannot use the phone for text verification. And there is no Edit button next to the phone number to disable that.
