Cannot register Android phone : Getting Request verify error: Bad response: 402 Payment Required

[Taisgeal]

Hello,

I have downloaded and untarred signal-0.6.2 to /usr/local/bin/ on Debian 8.11 as per the instructions. I have also installed haveged and my java version is 1.7.0_201.
My server is based in the UK, so is the Android phone I am trying to register and (not that it matters for my current purposes) so am I.

However, when i try to register my phone, I get this :

./signal-cli -u +44123456789 register
Request verify error: Bad response: 402 Payment Required

I have searched for this issue and can't find any reference to it.

Please let me know what other information I need to provide and any and all help greatly appreciated. For reference, I am trying to use signal-cli on my xymon server so that I can get admin alerts on my smartphone.

Thank you.

Kind Regards.

I had the same issue when I requested registration using IP from different country than mobile phone. It worked when registered from same.

[Taisgeal]

I requested registration using an IP address in the same country as the mobile phone. It didn't work.
I then tried with an IP address from a different country and it didn't work.
In both cases, I got the same error:
Request verify error: Bad response: 402 Payment Required

Can you register with that number on the official signal clients?
