For those unaware, OW1 now requires a phone number as well to play today. Check to see if your number works and also keep in mind, you get banned on this number in OW1, it’ll be banned for OW2.

“To prevent abuse, we are requiring users to register a unique mobile number to play this game for free”.
OW1 isn’t free. Why is this garbage being turned on already?

It’s a good thing that people are no longer able to play on accounts that have thousands of hours played because “Don’t you people have phones”? Grow up.

the two matches I played today was 2 of the worst matches I played all year
i mean, plenty of pre-paid providers globally allow battlenet verification, mine included. im sure you can keep your number on a different provider
Why are they doing that if they are only going to shut it down?
I’m sorry but it’s hard to believe people own expensive things like a PC or console and a video game that costs from $40 - $60 but cannot buy a cheap phone which is basically essential for living in this day and age.
Either way, if you can’t afford a phone then sadly you aren’t the target audience anyway for OW2 - they want people with money, not people who just want to play the game they love. (Also I’ve been waiting to not be able to play, since it says no prepaid, but my prepaid phone number has verified successfully multiple times so ???)

I have the means to buy a phone. I’m not poor, however; I’m not going to pay for a cellphone plan I do not need and won’t be able to use due to me living in an area cellphone service is not available.

I hope that the ones who have a pre-paid plan or something similar for legitimate reasons do find a way to play OW1/OW2. After all, it’s to combat something negative and those legitimate players should not have to be affected by it.
