How can I get the validation code for QB Premier 2016

I reinstalled QB on my PC and now cannot be activated online. They prompted me to call customer support and get a validation code but the phone numbers cannot be found.

I am residing in Singapore and there is no local support.

Please assist.

I can help you get the validation code, CETPL.
