Unable to complete the number registration for my Meta Developer account

I've been trying to complete the number registration for the meta developer account, but every time that I tried i got "Sorry, a temporary error has occurred. Please try again in a little while.". I've been trying for at least 3 days :(.

Any feedback on this?, is there an issue with the meta services on this days?

A few things I would try:

  • Different browser or incognito window
    • Disable VPN/ad blockers
    • Try a different phone number if possible
    • Make sure 2FA and a payment method are enabled on the Facebook account

There have been quite a few recent reports of the developer activation flow failing with generic “temporary error” messages, so this may actually be fixed soon by Meta.

If it still happens after a few more days, I would contact Meta Developer Support directly because sometimes accounts get silently flagged for manual review.
