I'm having the same problem as the user above, not on this account but a different account we wanted to set up for our business. I registered on the 12th feb. If I try to create a new account, it says phone number already verified. I can't seem to find the email (so I suspect it never arrived) but I remember being told I need to wait for the account to get verified. Thanks for contributing to the community!
If you already have an account, and you are trying to apply for a second one - you are violating the terms of service. Each user is only allowed one 'free' account (paid for by Steemit). If you want additional accounts, you should pay the account creation fee using SteemConnect or BlockTrades.us.
This is my sixth day here on Steemit but I'm having same issue.
I invited three peeps, my son, my sister and my friend, to get on board at Steemit. My son applied last week Friday, Feb 9th and both my sister and friend applied on Feb 11th.
All three did their phone verification but they still haven't received the 'Welcome to Steemit! Confirm Your Email' email with verification link.
My sister tried registering for Steemit Chat to get support but didn't get their registration email to verify either.
She also tried to start all over again using another email but system picked up her phone number and says it's already registered.
All three remain in limbo because they do not even know whether their application process was successfully completed.
My sister found and emailed the link to this post by @samstonehill for me. We'd all be so grateful for your help.
How long have they been waiting?
A friend of mine has been waiting a week now. Can't even receive the email for registering to Steemit chat... What do we do? Thank you in advance!
Let me know if you are still having trouble.
Hi Tim,

Wow Tim, that was fast! I assume you did something as I just got the confirmation email. Thank you!

my friend also has the same problem, been waiting over 9 days now.. any idea on the ETA on the verification email these days?
There is info in the pinned messages of the #help channel in steem.chat.

The standard wait time is up to seven days, so it would be good to wait at least that long before taking any action.
