YouTube - Phone verification

4 replies
When you create a YouTube account, can you use the same phone number if you've already previously used it to verify an account?

Sometimes when creating an account it doesn't ask you to verify, but the majority of the time it does, which is very annoying. I've only got one mobile phone so what are we supposed to do when creating another account?

    Generally it's 5 accounts per IP. If you're on 1 IP you can make 5 accounts, then 5 accounts per phone number after that.

    Really there's no limit to accounts if you have the numbers.

      Where did you hear that it's 5 accounts per IP? I've made more than 5 accounts on the same IP I think, although im not sure if my ISP uses a different IP each time. I guess they use a permanent IP though.

    Haven't tried veryfying my mobile phone on youtube. I got 3 accounts already. But if that's the case, try to check it you can still create an account with the same mobile number on your previous account.

    I have used the same phone number for a few accounts, I don't know what is the limit, but I didn't face any problems yet.
