Join a chat group with the account <code>+12025555555</code>

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Registration fails with "error registering with server" ===

This registration error might be related to an [https://gitlab.com/signald/signald/-/issues/372 open bug] in Signald. As an alternative, it is possible to use the client <code>signal-cli</code> to register and verify a new phone number and use Signald as a secondary "device" by linking it

# nix-shell -p nixos.signal-cli

# Register account with the phone number +12025555555. You'll most likley need to generate a captcha and specify it with a parameter. See registration section above on how to do this.

# signal-cli -a "+12025555555" register --captcha "abcd"

Enter the verification number received via SMS

# signal-cli -a "+12025555555" verify "1234"

Generate the device uri in Signald to link the existing account

# signaldctl account link --output-format json

Use the uri generated above in the following command

# signal-cli -a "+12025555555" addDevice --uri "abcd"

</syntaxhighlight>

Now Signald is able to use the phone number <code>+12025555555</code>, registered with signal-cli, as a secondary device.
