Can't purchase ripple anywhere

[Excited101]

I am having an extremely hard time purchasing XRP. 

1.) Signed up via Gatehub

2.) It has been 3 days, and still can't get phone verification through gatehub, so I can't purchase anything 

3.) Tried Changedlly and XRP is no longer supported, tried shapeshift and ripple isn't selectable.

 

How in the world do I buy it?

I think we're experiencing a temporary blackout on most exchanges due to the rise, i suspect it'll be resolved soon.

Its really hard to buy in the U.S. directly from any of the exchanges. I bought BTC on Coinbase and exchanged into XRP on Binance. I'm trying to buy more but exceeded my weekly card limit on Coinbase and a bank transfer takes 3-5 days. Anyone know of an easier way, hook a brother up lol.

This. ^.  This right now is the easiest route.  I bought Eth tho, but the process is the same.  Hopefully Changelly ads XRP back to it's exchange.  But, going from Coinbase to Binance back to my wallet wasn't too big of a deal.  I did about 100 XRP's this morning.  Took about 30 mins to hit my wallet.  I was quite surprised.
