(New?) OVH Free Micro VKS Requirement

rgenzon

Seems like they're not after followers on their Twitter account anymore. I tried to reapply today, opened their site and now they're asking for your phone number.

Has anyone tried it? Does it work?

debug

Yup, it works. I just used my Google Voice number to get the text message

Google Voice can receive texts, or does it just direct it to your phone?

Well you don't need to check your phone you can just go to http://google.com/voice to see it.

Thanks for the input guys. I read some posts here that they requested say, HK, but then they got their VKS on another location. Did it happen to you as well?

Happened to me, but I read somewhere of someone who requested after me for HK and got HK. I got CA instead of HK, not sure what it'll be like now.

I got Dallas. But requested Paris. You need to find out using tracert.

You sure? I don't know if I'm still able to renew it after Aug26

giang

Why don't you submit a ticket and ask them? :D But IMO, they won't let us renew because these are beta test VPS :(

pineapple

which country you choose? When I want to use google voice, I didn't found America or United States in their list

WhizzWr

also Dallas here, I was hoping to get EU (Frankfurt) to play with, so a little bit disappointed. :p

netomx

You need to renew esch month, but it doesnt say something about price

rm_

I have renewed mine for one more month today, without problems. But it seems there's no notification as time starts to run out, so you have to remember renewing if you still need it.

I think that is the point, if you really use the box and have important things there it is likely you will remember. They need ppl that actively use them, otherwise they can make some containers and let them there, no need to put up with the hassle of giving away. M

rgenzon

I got Chicago. Sad :( I was hoping to get HK

Shamli

Got what I requested...Chicago....=)

bobby

Useless this. Got San Jose instead of HK.
