Phone Number Associated With Account.

Everytime I give them my phone number for authentication, I get a message that that number is associated with another account.  That's impossible, it's my number and I've used it on craigslist several times this week.  I have other email addresses, and have attempted to use those to get it through, but nothing works.  I keep getting the same message.  I've emailed Craigslist 3 times, but they haven't responded.

Sorry for your problems. In recent years Craigslist administration has become increasingly erratic, with many of its actions having no apparent rational basis. My advice is to use a differnt phone number. If necessary, enlist the aid of a buddy who'll stand by and relay the code to you.
