Manual phone verification request – Benin (+229)

Hello NVIDIA Support Team,

I am a programming student from Benin trying to generate an API key on build.nvidia.com to learn and experiment with NVIDIA NIM models for my studies and personal projects.

I am stuck at the phone verification step. Even though Benin appears in the country dropdown, the “Send Code to Phone” button remains disabled/grayed out when I enter my valid phone number.

Account details:

- Registered email: paradisallagbe@gmail.com

- Phone number: +229 01 41 93 53 66

- Country: Benin

I have already tried:

- Different number formats (with and without the new 01 prefix)

- Different browsers

- Clearing cache / using private mode

It seems that SMS verification is not yet fully supported for Benin (+229), especially with the new 10-digit numbering plan.

Could you please manually verify my account or whitelist my number so I can generate an API key?

Thank you very much for your help and for supporting students.

Best regards,

Paradis
