Phone verification issue for NVIDIA NIM API — Location: Turkey

Hi everyone,

I am trying to register for an API key on build.nvidia.com to test the latest models (like DeepSeek and Llama), but I am stuck at the phone verification step.

When I enter my phone number with the Turkey (+90) country code, I am unable to receive the OTP, or the “Send Code via SMS” button does not function as expected. I have checked the documentation regarding regional availability, but there is no specific information indicating that Turkey is restricted.

Could you please assist with manual verification or provide a workaround for developers in this region?

Details:

  • Region: Turkey (TR)

  • Country Code: +90

  • Purpose: Accessing NIM Inference Endpoints for development.

Thank you.
