IG doble Verification

[roberth07]

Something very strange happened to me when I added some accounts to Jarvee.
I have not used these accounts for a few months.
Now, when I add Jarvee, he asks for a telephone verification.
I do the verification.
Request another verification after a few seconds or minutes.
I do the second verification, and everything works correctly without any problem.
Yesterday we added 20 accounts and all of them double verification.
I do not like the idea of spending two verifications per account when adding them.
What will be the problem?

Use real phone numbers

Yes, these happen sometimes, and I am using real numbers. Just double verify it and that's it. You can try to verify it in browser and second via API but nothing you can do. Using mobile proxies will be an alternative

I am using smspva, can you recommend another service? Thank you.

I highly recommend using real SIM cards and not online services. It's safer, cheaper in the long run and you don't get as many phone verifications with time, if any.

How is it cheaper?
Maybe I don't know something, but I am not sure where you can get a simcard for a few cents that does not need to be activated and with the balance to receive sms.

In the country where I am currently it is obligatory to verify the identity to validate a SIM.

If you've read both OP and mine sentence, you would find two important things.
Firstly he already said he used two verifications for each account which is 0.15$x2 or 0.3$x2, that's already almost half a price of the cheapest SIM card (1$).
Now I said it's "cheaper in the long run" which implies that if he gets more verifications (I'm assuming they are not warmed up/new accounts it's highly possible that he will get more in the near future) he will pay more.

Order the cheapest SIM cards from ebay or look in the marketplace for a provider. (always check if they will work in your country)
Do it only if those are accounts that you care for.

 

[roberth07]

In the country where I am, every sim costs $0.2.
But you have to verify your identity.

I actually did read that, no need to assume for me. I am familiar with the service and its prices, I just disagree with what you saying. Maybe I am wrong, but it sounds like nonsense. If you run 1-2 accounts, then, maybe it's okay, but otherwise, when you run 100s of accounts or even couple dozens it's not cheaper or easier. Just imagine changing simcard 20 times in a row.

I didn't do much research on the simcards but I don't know a simcard for a $1 that would last forever or at least a long time. Accounts may request verifications after 6-12 month of running - I doubt $1 sim will last that long without top-up. The sms costs 15¢ while simcard cost $1 (or more).

How long will it stay alive to receive sms without top-up and activity?

I wouldn't know for sure since I've never tried it.

Not long for sure.
The main idea behind simcards is that they bring revenue, therefore, they have to be either on the contract or have some balance from time to time.

It's cheaper. I am running tens of accounts with real SIM cards that are even more expensive than 1$ and I didn't get even one phone verification after adding them and warming up my accounts.
I also used online services and it's not worth it in the long run. After ~4 triggered verifications you already paid 1$ and you don't even have a stable number.

I agree that changing SIM cards each time can be pain but I am using multiple phones at the start of the account journey and like I said you don't even need to verify anything after some time because accounts are safer to instagram with real SIM cards.

A lot depends on how you run accounts and how many accounts. The more aggressive your settings are the higher the risk of getting verifications. I am sure 100% your $1 sim cards do not last forever and will require new sim or balance top up. Maybe, for 10 accounts on the low setting it can be cheaper for some period of time, but if you don't do aggressive settings you can be fine without verifications, which makes 15¢ sms cheaper than $1 sim.

Currently I am running about 50 accounts without any problems with ~2$ SIM cards and didn't have one phone verification after warming up phase or recovery phase (if some account got shadowbanned in the past). They last 18 months, you can find a seller in the marketplace that's providing great service. 1$ SIM cards last at least 6 months so if he is automating accounts to sell them in the future, half a year is enough to create 10-30k account easily. (depends of niche but usually it's 3 months). If he is doing CPA it's not worth buying real SIMs, if he is creating accounts that won't be automated and grown, that's also a waste of money. I'm only talking about a situation if he is growing accounts for himself/clients/or buyers.

I am talking about the same, though, I don't agree with what you saying, so we can agree to disagree.
I wish I would be able to cut costs using simcards, but I wasn't able to find such a solution.

I buy them for way less at $0.25 per sim and they last for around 18 months without any top ups.

When then time is up I will just switch the accs to a new sim and that's it.

You're actually in the perfect country for SIM cards if the "Location: London" is correct.
I can believe in the 0.25$ story, but unfortunately without any extra connections, you can buy the cheapest SIM cards that work abroad for at least 1$.
