What about this phone verification?

Lately a lot of my accounts were flagged after phone verification.

They dont do the photo verification no more.

Who else suffers because of it lately?

So you did the phone verification, and after that your account has been flagged? You confirm with real simcards or using some kind of tool?
We still see photo verifications poppin up, besides that also phone and ID still.

Yeah after verification we see account is flagged. Every account is verified on the simcard that was used to create/warm up account. 1 sim card = 1 acc

I lost 5 account this week by it. Some new, some where i had xxx conversions. Pretty weird.

I think what you describe actually happens in a different order as far as what I am noticing.

An ad account can trigger a phone verification or photo submission lock after being flagged.

I think you just perceive it as being the other way around.

Is it better to buy physical sim cards for verification or use some of the virtual providers? Can FB tell the difference? Also there is the difference in cost, virtual seems a lot more expensive to me but easier to manage.

Which geo are you referring to? I found some virtual ones for US and none of the numbers came through properly. But for example here in the Netherlands you can buy simcards for 1 euro without ID and stuff, which makes it a lot easier.

We farm EU accounts, live in Prague, so I find it also easier to buy cards here. But I was wondering if im not missing some easy online solution where I just choose country activate number and then delete it when I dont need it anymore. All the research I made told me its very expensive(around $20 for a number/month) to have unique virtual numbers . So I guess having a box with simcards is still the best way to do it

One thing we are testing now is to activate with temporary number straight away when creating account - thats cheap, then delete the number from the account, apparently they can run without it and when the QS gets low or account is flagged and youre asked again for a verification, you can use another random temporary number to verify. I will post here the results.

We are dealing with the same issue. Now using SIM cards but it's a bit headache
