I have noticed that most those services (twitter, Skype and so on) block login without giving phone number...until few months later they automatically unblock. I simply check out in every week, are they removed block or not.
Once I was stupid and gave phone number one of those kind services, that was bad idea. Account went into some weird state after giving code received from SMS.
So my personal experience: wait, never give phone number.
- mikro2nd 5y agoThat's odd. I've never given Twitter a phone no. (Granted my account predates their phone no. fetish.) Still use Twitter daily without any issue. Perhaps it's because I'm still logged in and not trying to re-login?
- djrogers 5y ago> Granted my account predates their phone no. fetish I doubt that - twitter started as an SMS service…
- mikro2nd 5y agoDoubt all you like - that's how it is.
- sli 5y agoTwitter doesn't seem to care much about established accounts, but every attempt I've made to make a new account under a new name gets suspended.
