Description

Keybase does not currently allow verifying a British (+44) phone number, as "ERROR CODE 218 - failed to send sms: Bad HTTP code 400: (Permission to send an SMS has not been enabled for the region indicated by the 'To' number: +447xxxxxxxxxx., https://www.twilio.com/docs/errors/21408, ) in method keybase.1.phoneNumbers.resendVerificationForPhoneNumber"

Research direction

Start at the keybase.1.phoneNumbers.resendVerificationForPhoneNumber method and use the provided log ID while tracing the Twilio error for a +44 number. Done means UK phone verification can send its SMS without error 21408; check the behavior against the reported failure.
