Change phone number error

Question

As I was trying to create the AWS account, once selected the country and entered my phone number I got the following error:
The phone number provided is not valid or incorrectly formatted. We do not accept toll-free numbers. Please use a different phone number.
My phone number is from Colombia.

Hi,
Same here... my phone number is valid.

"When you are setting up your account, we recommend you use a phone number where you can be contacted within the next few minutes to complete account sign-up."

Sorry, not sure what it means

Hello,

When you are setting up your account, we recommend you use a phone number where you can be contacted within the next few minutes to complete account sign-up.
