Re: TL;DR but what is it with ****ing developers
The American Express (I know, I know, I didn't choose to use the world's least supported CC, the company did) account page yesterday asked for my mobile number. They ask for country code and had the expected county code starting with a + already filled in. It then refused the accept the + as it only allows numbers. It also doesn't allow enough digits for a UK phone number and I couldn't progress without giving a number so now they have an incomplete phone number of me on file.
Somehow I feel that only Americans have a good chance of leaving their mobile number on that system, the rest of the world will just have to be lucky I guess.
(Don't get me started about the space in my surname, that I have letters in my postcode and it is longer than five characters, etc. etc.)
