☆ENGLISH ONLY☆コミュのMobile Number Required?

Hi everyone!
I sent an invite out to a friend of mine, and he said it keeps asking him for a mobile number?
Is this something new here (on mixi), or am I just oblivious?

(And is there any work-around, or way he can still sign up?)

Mixi now needs non-free Email for the confirmation. I singned up with my hotmail or something, but recently they change their policy and require the confirmed "paid" Email address for new members, and they're asking for the cell phone Email address. I don't know much, but that's how it is now.

@ ハナイタイ:
Strange! Yeah, when I signed up I only needed my e-mail address (I pay for my e-mail), and I've sent out invites to other friends, but now all of the sudden it's not working anymore.

It has been that way since this April. They put that stupid policy that required a cellphone e-mail address in place in March last year, but held off enforcing it for the sake of those who lived abroad and therefore did not have Japanese cellphones.

They suddenly decided to enforce it this April. Those of us who are against the policy have since been trying to convince Mixi to abandon it, but so far, no good. Here is the protestor's community (in Japanese).

They do give you a break if you have an e-mail address from one of the Mixi-approved providers. But again, they never give us the list of such approved providers. We know that big names in Japan, such as Biglobe, are included, but as far as we can tell, no providers abroad are. Even Comcast, Verizon and RoadRunner are excluded.

Utterly ridiculous, I would say.

Thanks for all the information!
I signed up 2---maybe three years ago? I don't remember exactly, but I didn't know anything about all this nonsense.

It's a bit aggravating. My friend speaks Japanese too, so I thought he'd be able to make good use of an account, but now apparently that's all irrelevant.

I was almost hoping that he knew someone that could activate his account for him, but no help there either.
