Some Overwatch 2 players have said they support the restriction because it'll cut back on smurfing-that is, highly-ranked players creating new accounts so they can gank lower-skill players-and, hopefully, toxicity in general, as the system makes it than it was previously to bounce back from an account ban.

Prepaid phones tend to be portrayed in TV dramas as the tools of criminals and spies, but the reality is not so sensational. Redditor Sophie_bear (opens in new tab) said they've also been able to use SMS Protect with Tello Mobile, another prepaid system. Our Overwatch 2 reviewer (opens in new tab) and all-around good guy Tyler Colp told me he uses Mint Mobile prepaid and said the SMS Protect system works fine with it, and that he's aware of others who have had success with it as well. "I can't even play a game I paid for because of my phone plan." (They later clarified that they paid for Overwatch 1 and now have no choice (opens in new tab) but to move to Overwatch 2.)Ĭonfusing the situation even further, some prepaid plans do appear to work, despite Blizzard's policy.
