Why the hell can't I use my phone number?

I am a busy man. I cannot be dealing with Roblox’s shenanigans, lol! They said “This phone number cannot be used. Please enter a different phone number.”

Like WTF? I’ve never used this phone number on a different account or anything. Please help.

Your phone number could most likely use VoIP or Roblox doesn’t recognize your carrier from your phone number.

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is used on services like Google Voice, Skype, TextNow, and other internet-based calling services. These numbers often aren’t supported by Roblox for security reasons.

It’s not VoIP, but it’s Xfinity mobile. Do they not recognize it? If so, I’m screwed!

Most likely, Roblox doesn’t recognize it. Xfinity Mobile is a fairly new service compared to other carriers.

Xfinity Mobile began services in 2017. In comparison, T-Mobile started in 2001 & Verizon in 2000.

Also, Xfinity does use VoIP.

Sadly, it could take a long time for Roblox to recognize it with other “carriers” using VoIP.

Sorry, I am not very educated in this field, then.

Other phone carriers don’t use VoIP, a new way of calling, texting, being secure, and etc.

VoIP is easily useable on services like Google Voice and TextNow, which are easy to sign up for to get a second number almost without your name.

VoIP is secure and a new way of using a cell phone (calling, texting, etc), however, companies like Discord, Roblox, etc who want phone verification know what numbers are VoIP and those that aren’t.

Basically, companies don’t want people using secondary numbers to sign up for an account.

People using VoIP numbers sometimes are scammers and others who use a burner number for one time and then get rid of it.

You might be out of luck. :confused:
