Has anyone tried using the same uber account or atleast your phone number on a new Uber account for overseas trip? Like Hong Kong for example.

I've tried two local numbers but it says "Too Many Requests" which leads me to suspect that Uber has blocked msian numbers since Grab took over.

Since I need Uber for travelling around HK, any other ways anyone knows to get this sorted? I'm not keen on getting a foreign number outside of SEA just for this.

UK phone number easiest to get.

i maintain second one in my phone using giffgaff for past 3 years

use it for all the apps not supported here, including onlyfans haha

is there specific reason you want your malaysian number?

roaming answer rate is about 1gbp a minute, same as maxis roaming price when answering taxi or delivery drivers

worked in norway, usa and australia no issue

well i used to use UBER pretty actively until Grab took over here. And i really only have msian phone numbers atm.

any services u recommend to buy virtual number?

Edit: just saw giffgaff, i'll have a look at it.

also, if its true that Uber is actively blocking MY numbers, then thats incredibly short-sighted considering they operate globally.

It wud be stupid to force customers to get a seperate foreign number just to get Uber to work in a foreign land.

No block lah.

Last year I login in Istanbul was ok.

i tried two different numbers both same issue wor.

ya ... i - re-download the app before my trip to taiwan last week

uber rating automatically moved over from my grab app, i just update my card in uber app

actually i just tried to add my malaysian number on my uk uber eats account and it worked too!

when i tried in 2022 it just said not supported haha and it told me to download foodpanda or something, weirdly not grab who bought them off

maybe you kena rate limit or something

you should try vpn to supported countries

i still buy a lot of food and deliver to friends and family in the uk and australia, before this can browse all restaurant and menu unlimited time no issue

nowadays if i am in malaysia looking at foreign menu, after a few restaurants everything will stop loading until i switch networks or turn on vpn.

Haha deng

Actually I tried one time on HK wifi (i was in HK few months back), it also wasn't working at all. So i dont think its a vpn issue. Tried multiple times locally here, wifi, mobile data also cannot.

Raise two different tickets, one of them 9 days ago. 0 response, reach out to their media team also they redirect to the support page.

Really lousy support system.
