I wonder if Twitter restricts accounts to one per phone number. Phone
verification is readily bypassed with something like twilio, but only
the *most* advanced users would be able to pull this off. It would be
worth setting up an app to allow Iranian users to bypass it
semi-automatically, but spambots and abusers would *decimate* it.
I wonder if there's a way to get Twitter to remove the restriction for
users based in Iran. There's not really a good reason for it in the
first place =/

no it doesn't. they blocked this 'trick' and also many Iranian users
can't register to Twitter anymore because it require phone
verification on sign-up page.

Hi,
Basically as you knew Iran is not on the country list of Twitter.
I've reached to Twitter and they know about this issue.
Iranians are gets very active on Twitter after 2009 Pres.Election
till now and the numbers of the users all of the time are growing.
It's sad we see Twitter hasn't Iran on the list while Google and
other networks are supporting Iran's telephone numbers for give
the users the option to enable the 2step verification.
so today I wrote an article on my blog and teach iranians how they
can active their twitter telephone number(SMS service and active
their 2step verification) from inside iran.
https://twitter.com/ListenToUs/status/497374522426015744 [1]
how: actually when you are going to submit a number of twitter
website, with Inspect element on chrome you can add +98 on the
form and write your in the telephone number field and twitter will
send you a text message and everything is going to successful.
and many iranians are now have twitter verification on their
phones and some of them like this man:
https://twitter.com/ziarlarimi/status/497484191613726720 [2]
texting from IRAN without using any circumvention tools.
I hope twitter will decide to add Iran to the 'INTERFACE' of the
website,because on the backend everything is fine.
Thanks
Nariman
