This isn’t GD.
Wow you’re smart
No one here has given you any grief about any of the things you’re claiming. All we’ve gotten in return is you being nasty, bitter and flat out obtuse because there isn’t anything any of us can do about it.
I’ll say it again. I am sorry you’re in the position you’re in. Pretty much everyone who has passed through here sympathizes with you. Those of us who have tried to clarify where you’re wrong do it in the spirit of making sure any poor soul who trips over this mess can learn from any of this muck, and hopefully you might as well. It’s not to break you down further, despite this crusade of yours that says you believe otherwise.
With that, I’m taking my leave of this and wish you nothing but the best, whether you stay or leave. May you find happiness wherever your gaming takes you.

I’ve responded to one of your other posts about this issue, with pertinent information on how to improve your situation, if your version of “poor” aligns with what our Federal government considers “poor”.
If you qualify for lifeline you can get a free, modern smartphone with “regular” (not pre-paid) service at absolutely zero cost to yourself. Then you can take your Cricket payments and go buy a cheezeburger, or a WoW token, or whatever you like.
One last thing. Someone having a different opinion than you isn’t “white knighting,” they’re discussing, just like you. Unless, perhaps, you’re “black knighting,” therefore an opposing position could be called such a thing.
IMVHO Blizzard isn’t at fault here; their intentions with the authenticator change are good. I don’t have a horse in the race; I neither work for Blizz, nor do I play or pay for any of their games (at the moment). I’m simply quite familiar with WoW and Blizzard’s policies, and I like doing text-based customer and tech support. Call it a weird hobby.
At worst, I am a “neutral knight,” if you must dub me such. I argue on the side of logic and fact, nothing more, certainly not company names.
Good luck!

Plz read op:
I’ve had my authenticator hooked up for years now, and use the mobile app and thought my phone was connected to some extent. I’ve always had that backpack thing not active so I figured that was the issue. I added my phone # to my account the way I thought they wanted (to clarify: I followed all the prompts given until reaching the page with the option “add phone notifications”), and then waited over 30 minutes logging in and out to no avail. I was getting pretty frustrated myself once it went past 45 minutes and getting close to an hour.
I looked for all the options that I could and finally went into “privacy and communications” tab on the bnet website on your account dashboard type thing. At the bottom there is a setting under comm preferences that says “SMS account alerts.” After attaching my phone # that box was still disabled for me (I thought this was the same thing, or be automatic) but I updated it to be enabled, praying that would fix it. And when I logged back in I had my backpack added right away and can make groups 
I’m not sure if that specifically was the issue and if it is I feel like this whole process could be a lot more clear, but do double check that in your account settings since simply adding your number doesn’t seem to be enough. For me anyway this was very unclear but now that it seems to be working I’m glad I tried that. So yea… try enabling the alerts specifically after adding your phone #.
Hope that helps!
