So, recently my friends and I discovered that we wouldn’t be able to play Overwatch 2 without registering a phone number. Well, not a problem, just register your number I thought. But, here goes the main surprise: part of my friends were able to register their number while part of them didn’t. All on the same mobile operator, all on the same type of contract (internet + mobile service). But some of the numbers were accepted and some didn’t.
I went to google it all and it appears that Blizzard is aware of this problem for years and, in their typical fashion, does nothing.
I went to support and so far they twice copy-pasted the same stuff that is in their FAQ while completely ignoring anything I actually asked. Again, in their typical fashion.
So, my question is, will anything be done about this or can I just throw my blizzard account into trash and forget about it?
Same problem in my country new caledonia, I send them my phone invoice but still no reply… I cant play ow anymore, I bought the ow2 package for early access for nothing… its a shame!!!
Hi there, I do not work at Blizzard. The classification of the numbers (prepaid vs postpaid) is completed by the carrier. So the potential reason for this issue is:
some people on prepaid plans instead of postpaid, or
some numbers are classified incorrectly or reused by the carrier.
