Help on the Steam Authenticator thing, for trading?

[Pixelucifer]

So, I had to get that stupid app (yes, I know it's for my own good, it was just a little irritating that I couldn't trade my own Steam items), in order to trade my steam items. The uh, authenticator. Anyways, I did that, and it continues to still tell me I have to wait a total of 15 days.

My question is, is that do I have to wait the 15 days since the day I signed up, (with my phone number), or is there some bug? I tried to trade again, and it still said "Trade will be held for 15 days." I currently have 9 days left, until the authenticator notice is SUPPOSED to be gone.

Any assistance on this?

You need to wait 7 days since enabling the mobile authenticator to trade without trade holds. If you trade now, stuff will be put on hold fo 15 days.

Oh, thank you!
Yeah, I was really confused, and I didn't want to be waiting for an extremely long period of time, until I could finally trade again.
Thanks, once again.

You're lucky. I don't have a mobile device. The most I have is an old samsung galaxy tab that barely works and has less than a gig of space on it and I dont even use it for anything ever.
How, pray tell, am I supposed to ♥♥♥♥ing input a mobile phone number to set up this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ arbetrary mobile authenticator if I don't have one? Is waiting 15 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ days for each transaction, buying or selling, really the only way for me to even use the community market at all? I just don't understand! All I want to do is sell cards for some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pocket change, why does it need to be so needlessly difficult?

You do know most carriers offer ways to receive text messages through your landline, right? Use a landline number instead if that will work.

Check with your carrier about what's included in your package. For instance, Comcast apparently do this:
