QIP.ru wants only Russian mobile phonenumber to confirmation of email account.

Since a couple of weeks I was unable to reach my accounts on qip.ru.
I needed a russian mobile phone number to do so....my Dutch number was not accepted.

So iow you can NO longer reach accounts made under qip.ru if you do NOT confirmate with a russian mobile number. What exactly the policy of this is I do not know because with most other Russian service you can put in a non-Russian mobile number without any problems (mail.ru/Yandex or Rambler)

Well i did not use them much anyway...it was just that they offer a cool name as "hotmail.ru"...LOL

However i would NOT recommend this service for any serieous email traffic....as their servers are very often down and they also NOT use https...to log in on their site..,-) Which is NOT a good thing imho.

I managed to have my Japanese phone number validated by contacting directly QIP.ru through their website: clicking on the help link, Помощь, you can submit a ticket requesting for help, and indicate your phone number - they would validate it for you and unlock your account.

Of course, I did this by writing a small mail in Russian

Thanks!! I will give it a try...but it is not that important you know. I hardly used my QIP.ru accounts anyway. Personaly I think Yandex,Mail.ru and even Rambler are far more serious contenders then Qip.

my 2 cents.

I quite agree. Qip.ru's servers are often off line during weekends, making it impossible to receive emails or to consult them on QIP's website. Personally I only use this email account to receive some updates related to a running application I installed on my mobile phone.
