Does changing phone numbers cause a red flag?
Does changing your phone number correlate with getting the reactivate error?

And then maybe change it again 2 weeks later?

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

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 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

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.
