Overwatch 2 is so doomed For all the people who are young and tryna play: use your parents phone number, it's fine and all you will need is a code which will be sent to their phone which you will need to put in
I made a battle net account, but fake battle net account because 1: I don't trust Blizzard and I know Blizzard just wants our personal informations and sell it to the other companies because Blizzard is asking too much informations. And 2: I hate Blizzard so much since Blizzard is working with NetEase because of P2W Diablo Immortal... The only thing I don't wanna put is my phone number... Nah, not today, Blizzard. I never give you my phone number... I know Blizzard wants to sell my personal data, not today...
2 days ago i requested a delete of my blizzard account because my region of acc and my phone number wasn't matching so i had to unlink from ps acc. But today i cancelled that process and it let me play without no
I put my number in and it didn’t work now whenever I try playing the game it tells me to do the whole number thing again so I do but it just tells me that my number is already in use and now I can’t play lol
Imagine if you buy game for $70 and they require you to put your phone number only to find out the service won’t accept prepaid numbers. Now your stuck with game you payed $70 for that you can’t even play 🗿
Solution for Ps5: Hi, I just found a solution and the only thing you have to do apart from making a Battlenet account and connect the account to the Playstation when you are in the games part and you are where overwatch just press the cover, don't hit "play".
This is why blizzard is one of the most laziness company ever. They need to get rid of the prepaid phone number verification feature, and the QR code, and just let people play the game. If blizzard won't get rid of the prepaid phone number verification feature from the entire games, and from its social networks, then people will have rights to protest against all other companies.
Yes same here I put my phone number in like 10 times it has to be a certain type of phone number and I had this phone number for 10 years not only that but somehow I broke the signing feature now it just keeps on saying over and over something went wrong trying to fix something so I guess I could never play OverWatch too well blizzard is a stupid company anyway
It doesn't change anything if you didn't play back in 2021 then this issue will not stop you will need to get a cell phone to get it to work trust me when i say this f*c*ing sucks!!!
Bro this sucks I really wanted to play overwatch because I never played it before I hope they change this stupid phone thing at this point I don't care about cheaters anymore I just want to have fun
Blizzard "don't you guys have cellphones "

No not like that now its “ Dont you guys have post paid cellphones”

Definitely don't think you're poor because of a prepaid number. Screw those awful contract plans.
I'm not poor, but cricket is a good way to save money. 🤣
Look at the bright side. They're letting you log in
@Just Call Me Kryptic what do you mean your phone plan doesn’t work? You can’t get the SMS?
This game is completely going to be the biggest flop in gaming history unless they fix this FAST

BLIZZARD FIX THIS SHIT 💢
Agreed!
Right, i spend a lot of money buy the game. This is scam
Been a year or more, still the same issue persists. Amazing job blizzard 👏🏻
i wait for verification but they didn't send it
Bruh ig I wasted my time downloading lol
Same
They have 100% just requested my residency permit to change my location to enter my correct mobile number, this is insane
I'm so heated
This is the main reason I Haven't even downloaded the game. And probably don't plan to unless something changes
When u try to make an account u have to do a millions things just to verify💀💀
I haven't played overwatch over two years bc of this.
This can killed Overwatch 2 for people
The whole Idea is sus, probably going to sell yall's numbers 😆
Wouldn't surprise me any... Guess I dodged a bullet not being able to play the game lol
Yeah I heard what happened you got really lucky.
Yeah Blizzard sells their data to China.
Yeh same problem with me
I'm just a new player, and I can't even play
I have this screen too. I am a new player with an old blizzard Account. I verified everything, but if i click on the link or scan the code there comes an error 403 and so i cant log in and play. Can anyone help?
Litteraly have the same thing
the only thing going for this franchise is the community creations
I never played overwatch and I was excited to play until I I found out I can't even play the game
So glad I wasn’t the only one with this shit😂
Bro it’s giving me the same message and all I wanna do is play the game man.
This is the stupidest thing Blizzard has ever done, and they have done some stupid things in the past this cuts the cake!

Bro I can’t play the game I wasted over 100 bucks on it when it came out and more in overwatch 1
That's awful! 😞
Same this is so dumb I hate it for the switch player
now i understand why the game was free in the eshop
i’ve never met a single person who had a prepaid phone
Cricket, Mint, so many companies are considered prepaid..
Uh… good for you? I mean what a moronic comment lol
BLIZZARD REMOVE IT FOR ALL!!
i did all of that and it dosnt even let me in the menu
Same
Same but I got past that screen now where the queue usually is there is no message at all
How
@@Mf_hichem idk I think it’s something to do with the sms
Actually the best choice unlike naming it 2 instead of being just Overwatch (2.0)

Same like fr
I put my phone number and it didn't let me play the game

@@sxppa7474 mine works now apparently if your account was made before June 7 2021 or something It will work idk
Do I have to put this phone number if I have a new account?
You can just buy a number to use online. Can’t remember the site but you can use it for steam etc, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find.
Yeah I tried that but now I can’t even log out and prolly have to delete and download all over again or create a whole new account on my console
But we dont want to pay for a “f2p” game.
Imagine if you buy game for $70 and they require you to put your phone number only to find out the service won’t accept prepaid numbers. Now your stuck with game you payed $70 for that you can’t even play 🗿

@@widow12345I'm having the same problem, did you find a solution?

You need to have correct phone service too. What industry would let this problem slide blocking millions of people out
If you played OW1 you can get OW2 without the SMS protect
I have cricket! This sucks!
Right!
i just tried to play the game when this happend
This is what I did go to your account you were using for overwatch 1 and take the phone number off.😂
Let alone different countries in europe. Wont let me change the phone prefix. Deleting it
I just downloaded it to try something new and looks like I won't and I will not reinstall even when fixed
Doesn’t work for me too …
I can't play bc I already used the numbers that I know and now I need a new one
Literally bs. I was trying to play with my friends but I guess I have to be left out and sit there and watch them play.
This shit is frustrating
It does not work as blizzard is in a DDOS where phone number won't work as they don't want gamer to glitch and get pics off because of that.
Well I guess I'll go play Overwatch 1 where I spent 60 and then 40 bucks on along with stupid loot boxes.....
Wait a minute.
U can always just ask a friend to link their phone number
Shouldn't have to do any extra steps to play a video game 😂

The real question is if you use a phone that's been reported stolen to play overwatch will blizzard comply with the police? (Sarcasm)

They have T-Mobile
there haven't any way to solve it? because of i live same problem,so i can't enter to game.

Another reason to download the game from steam😭
Seriously though how do they expect to expand the fan base over some nonsense like this
