Changing numbers a red flag?
 

Does changing phone numbers cause a red flag?

Does changing your phone number correlate with getting the reactivate error?

I dont think so,I change my phone number last year

Re: Changing numbers a red flag?
 

would it cause a flag if i changed phone number right before changing big information like banks?

And then maybe change it again 2 weeks later?

Re: Changing numbers a red flag?
 

Changing registration info quickly within short time frame could trip flags - 2 weeks seems fine, kind of like a "move"

It also depends on the number. Getting a phone number from a website like https://grasshopper.com is often detected by Ebay/Amazon ect, and can cause a suspension.

I STRONGLY recommend getting yourself a cheap multi Sim phone and a CHEAP cellular account where you are given a SIM or eSIM card with your phone number. Take a look at www.Tello.com. You can get REAL cell phone plans there for about $10.00 per month

Yess very true

I was using an online service and was getting mixed results which made it difficult.

but the hard part is, when i register with TELLO or other services like real verizon, the accounts would still get banned randomly in the beginning.

I think best way would be register using an online service, then when account passes the aging process and doesnt get reactivate or suspension, ill change it to a TELLO number

I've NEVER had an issue with Tello, on ANY platform including Amazon. I just might be lucky

you're back right? =)

Good to see you again

Re: Changing numbers a red flag?
 

You know how long the prepaid minutes last for?
From cell providers generally only 3-6 months.

on a new account changing anything is a red flag , no one knows how the bots are programmed , I would not be surprised if that programming changes regularly

Re: Changing numbers a red flag?
 

I don't purchase prepaid minutes. I actually purchase a plan. you can get one for about $10.00 a month, even LESS.

great to see you back slapped - forum was missing your wisdom :thumb:

Re: Changing numbers a red flag?
 

that's actually pretty good. I think the pre paid I got was only $10 and it's good for 3 months. But yours has the advantage that you get to have an actual plan.

It's especially useful with Amazon
