Well, then, Canada numbers are OK? (Canada numbers look just like US numbers except the 3-digit area codes are Canadian area codes...)

Wasn't able to get SS to accept my login today in order to give them my cell number. They sent out the code OK, and I received it, but the website said there was an error and wouldn't let me enter the code.
I tried to set it up with Fidelity also, but Fidelity says they don't support my carrier (probably meaning Google Voice).
So 0 for 2 today.

I finally got it to accept my Google Voice number and send the code. For a while it wouldn't even process my regular cell phone number. Their system may be slammed with folks trying to update their logins?

I received the following error when I attempted to login to My SS this morning. This message was shown after I was prompted to enter a 10 digit cell phone number.
I am not sure at this point if the system is overloaded, or if they do not like my Google voice number that I provided.
-gauss
EDIT- Update - 15 minutes later or so I did receive an SMS message on my Google Voice number that I provided. It was of the form " YOUR SECURITY CODE IS ######## ". I still don't have anywhere to enter it in that the web site already faulted out with the message shown below. I guess this is a good sign suggesting that the current problems may be capacity related and not specific to my Google Voice number.

Yes I use my GV number all the time with my Vanguard account. I keep my Vanguard account set to "this is a public computer" so it prompts me every time.

Had the same issue trying to login to SSA with the code sent soon, but error message and no place to enter the code. I already had my account set up with my mobile awhile back so didn't need to do any assigning my phone today.
Worked fine months earlier. Maybe the "improvement" broke something  . Looks like I'll try again in a week or two  .

I was getting the same error on the SSA site, but I just retried a minute or so later and it was fine. It looks as if they have some capacity issues with their SMS gateway.

I just tried to login for the heck of it. First time since the change. Got the message you got and received no text code. I imagine the system is overloaded.

I just gave it a try. The first time it failed. I got the "can't process your request - try again later" message. I waited a few minutes and tried again. It worked okay the second time.

Yep, working for me now, too. (And I was using my email instead of my username; two different things!).

Wow - I bet SS wasn't expecting their email to cause such a demand.

Worked fine when I tried Off-Peak today (~ 6:15am EDT).
BTW - Be sure to be prepared to change your password if you haven't logged in for a while due to mandatory password change requirements.
