Unable to Setup a ripple account

[wolfcoin30126]

I've been trying to set up a xrp account for days  through one of the exchanges listed on ripples website.  
I can't even get gatehub to send my cell phone a verification so i can move on to the next step. Krakens url isn't working..

At this point I'm lost and not sure how to purchase xrp. I already have a coinbase account and that was extremely easy to set up

I need some advice....

Buy LTC on coinbase (using Credit Card or Debit Card). Transfer to bittrex. Change LTC-ETH, Change ETH-XRP.

LTC is going to have the shortest block time of the coins currently offered on Coinbase.

same problem with bittrex... getting an error code 404 when trying to set up a new account

You could try try Poloniex or Bitfinex.
