After several attempts, this was the solution I needed. My question is, if using an international number is not going to work, then why have it as an option in the "Personal Info" section? Also, if I can put any phone number in there, and I don't have to verify it, then that option does not add security to the system. Customers should be able to use international numbers (in my case a European number) and have those numbers used as their personal verifiable number.
