If Blizzard doesn't fix their SMS issue it looks like I might be saying goodbye to Overwatch as a whole! Phone numbers are a great way to add security to your account, but it shouldn't matter what provider it's coming from :] This issue reeks of capitalism and classism, gws

@NickyP_1 @PlayOverwatch Sorry i never got a notification for this. If they linked their account before october 2nd it should have worked flawlessly. If it ends up not working your account is glitched so all you can do is wait for overwatch to fix the problem.

@JakobZ313 I mean yeah, Overwatch ended its service before TF2 did. So TF2 technically did outlive it.
