Change battle tag numbers

I want to change my battle tag numbers but I don’t know how. I tried looking it up but nothing I found actually showed how to do it. Everything I found just showed how to change the username not the numbers after the “#”. Is there a way to do it?

Sadly, there is no way to change the numbers of your BattleTag. A Game Master from the Customer Support team also confirmed this. Those numbers are randomly generated, and even they are not able to change them.

Please help me with the problem. I want to change the phone number I have a new phone number

The number after the text name is automatically assigned. There can be 20 accounts named jadissa, but the #11733 separates you from the rest. You have never been able to change that.

If you want to use numbers in your Battletag name though you can. You can be jadissa1234#assignednumber

To do that you would go to account management here on the website and use your one free battletag change. If you don’t have one, you can pay for one. It would assign a new #number after your jadissa1234, but you could have a number in your display tag.

should’ve made like discord name tag number (old system) instead
I hate my assigned number

What happens when you log in with a new phone and your battle tag is the same but because of those 4 numbers being different you lost all your game progress? This is extremely frustrating as i have 4 characters amd have made great progress on all 4 of them. All of my info is the same except for the numeric ID assigned to me on my new phone. Am I just supposed to start all over? That is bad business practice. There has to be a way for me to gain access to my saved progress.

This means that your battletag is NOT the same. The first text part can be used by anyone as many times as they want. The numbers assigned to it make it unique.

Bob#1234 and Bob#4567 may look like Bob, but the system knows they are two different accounts.

You need to log in on your old Battlenet account. The login info should be the email/password for it.

It sounds like you accidentally made a NEW battlenet account with the same text, instead of logging into your previous one. It should not have let you make a new one using the same email though, so I would guess the emails are similar but slightly different.
