# Bypass SMS Lock

{% hint style="info" %}
If you already have an authenticator attached to your account, skip to "Step 4"
{% endhint %}

1. Login to your Battle.net account on the Battle.net mobile app. You can either use an Android emulator or your own mobile.
2. It will ask for a verification code upon logging in, choose the email code to verify.
3. Once logged in, follow any on screen prompts if required. For some you may see prompts to enable Authenticator and for others it might enable automatically for you. Once added, it will usually ask you to login again (this applies on all devices that were logged in prior to the authenticator being attached).
4. Now with the authenticator attached, we are now able to remove the old number from the account. Login to your Battle.net account on any browser. Head over to **Account Overview**, then **Account Settings**. Find **Phone Number**, then click **Remove** and input the **authenticator code** from the Battle.net app.
5. There are multiple sites where you can find cheap SMS numbers, one good site is <https://smspva.com/>. You can find many other sites with a quick Google search. (Please note you will need to get **TWO SMS CODES**; one for when you attach the new number and one for the SMS challenge when opening Overwatch (the one where it shows the QR code to unlock the account). We recommend you change your default browser to one you don't use so that any information isn't cross contaminated with your main browser from any old accounts you've logged into in the past. After the account has been unlocked you can simply switch your default browser back to your main one.
6. After performing all the steps, you should successfully have unlocked your account. You can perform these same steps as many time as you need to. We recommend using emulators as you can clone apps easily and manage all your authenticator apps in one place.

{% hint style="info" %}
There are sellers that provide SMS services for cheap or free, feel free to join the [Discord](https://wyvern.cx/discord) server to find out more about this.
