How to Change Your Blizzard Phone Number on Battle.net

If you need to change the phone number associated with your Battle.net account — because you switched carriers, lost access to your old number, or want to use a virtual number for privacy — PVALines makes the process straightforward. Blizzard's SMS Protect system allows you to update your phone number through your account security settings, and a PVALines non-VoIP number is accepted by the system just like a standard SIM-based mobile number.

Why You Might Need to Change Your Blizzard Phone Number

• You switched to a new carrier and your old number is no longer active
• Your number was ported and the SMS Protect codes stopped arriving
• You want to replace your personal number with a dedicated virtual number for gaming security
• Your account was compromised and you are resetting all security credentials
• You are setting up a secondary Battle.net account with its own dedicated number

Will Battle.net Accept a Virtual Number for SMS Protect?

Blizzard's SMS Protect system validates submitted phone numbers against carrier databases. VoIP numbers are increasingly blocked by Blizzard because VoIP numbers have been misused by ban-evaders and account thieves to bypass security. PVALines non-VoIP numbers are classified as legitimate mobile lines by carrier databases, which is why Blizzard's system accepts them and delivers SMS codes reliably.

After Changing Your Number: What to Expect

After updating your Battle.net phone number to a PVALines virtual number, Blizzard's SMS Protect will begin sending verification codes to your new number whenever you log in from an unrecognized device or perform sensitive account actions. Keep your PVALines dashboard accessible so you can receive and copy these codes as needed. PVALines offers long-term number retention for gaming accounts that require ongoing SMS verification.
