If you have completed these steps correctly, congratulations, your phone number is successfully linked to your Battle.net account and you can access Overwatch 2.

 

You can then activate an Authenticate via an official app on your smartphone. This operation is not required to play Overwatch 2, but it is strongly recommended to protect your account.

 

The same phone number cannot be used on multiple accounts at the same time. Similarly, it is not possible to create multiple accounts using the same number. A phone number can only be used once when creating a new account. In addition, certain types of numbers (such as prepaid and VOIP numbers) are incompatible with SMS Protection.
