Twitter Phone Re-verification Wave

Dilettante said:

Do you think that promoting only by hashtags could be possible? You tweet a lot of tweets with hashtags without following, hoping that people find/see them.

Only if you don't misuse the hashtags and you aren't posting the same tweets on the same account multiple times or the same tweets between more accs, otherwise you'll be ghosted from the search and your tweets won't be seen, only by your followers. You can't repost other's tweets either, so scraped tweets won't work. If you want this to automate, you need to put some manual work into it at first by writing highly spun comments with nested spintax, so the results will be unique and Twitter won't count your tweets as duplicates.

You want me to put directly my affiliate links in my tweets? It would be like begging for a ban!

Not necessarily, i always post tweets with links, i don't reckon having any account ban because of that. There are a lot of bigger accs who post links exclusively and they aren't even ghosted from the search, let alone being banned. Don't put aff urls though or direct links to the offers, only post links to your LPs, websites.

ofc not! I was explaining earlier in this thread to use a hosting and redirect using javascript

And with Likes, did someone try to tweet and like instead to tweet and follow?

Do you think the "like" may be a trigger too, or not?

I've been following massively 900-1000 per day on more than 50 accounts for the last month and no bans or sms until yesterday I got 8 accounts asking for sms/reverification.

I stopped the whole FL project since most of the accs are 20k+ followers. And the rest of the accounts are alive.

Strange thing is I've been violating every single ''limit'' this thread mentions, but didn't get one warning till yesterday.

I think I'm just gonna start over with a new set of accs, and let the old ones alive for a while, 50 aged accounts are cheap to buy comparing to my earnings and I gotta have in mind that the new ones might die soon after they start botting the fuck out of them.

When you have over 20k followers twitter lets you get away with all kinds of stuff. One of my 23k accounts follows 2200 people a day. But ever since they started ghosting follow notifications, it hardly matters.

@Dilettante - Yes, liking tweets does get some follow back. Its worth testing for your niche and noting resutls.

PVA UPDATE
So.. here's a big discovery I've made regarding all this PVA stuff and perhaps this could help you out.

So with my setup, I've been keep city specific proxy IPs for months. In fact, I have some accounts that have kept the same proxy IP for 14 months! So... as the PVA wave was going on
I was dealing with locking and SMS verification at a rate of about 10%. IT really made no difference what my FL settings were... I was still getting flagged with some sort of verification. I could
start out with 25 follows a day and get flagged. I could introduce pause days and would still get flagged. I could randomize and change out dm's and respective URLs and was still getting flagged.
I was at my wits end.

SOOOOOOO.... here's what I discovered. I decided to switch out proxy providers and do a test with 5 accounts to see if that made any positive changes. Like MAGIC! All my accounts from
the new proxy provider started to work. I've started out with 25 follows/day and slowly increasing them to what you see below:





Now... I know its still early however I'm seeing VERY positive results. All accounts that I've changed proxies to have seem to work out fine.

Expressing my concern with my original proxy provider, they've been VERY cooperative and we started switching out my old proxies IPs with new ones and BAM!!! All accounts that
I've switched proxies from my original provider seem to be working.

SO what's the moral of this story.... it appears switching out local proxies isn't such a bad thing after all. Stay tuned, I'm slowly increasing and stress testing my accounts
and will report my findings next week.

Thanks everyone for all your help.

Great. Thanks for sharing. Will look forward for your further testing

Same happened to me... I have 50 accounts and about 10 require a phone number.
I'm not sure about the problem because I could add the phone numbers but it already happened that the accounts were still banned.

You guys think that the accounts are suspicious because they have no phone number and it will be fixed if I add a number or because they do following?
Not sure what to expect.

A second wave struck June 27.

It hit several of the same accounts automated with Socialoomph posting 3x/hr.

what were the setting?

How do you tell if your following has been ghosted?

Does unfollow trigger the account lock and sms verification?

I don't think ip matters, since there is no such thing as virgin ipv4 proxies. All the ipv4 virgins been abused in some form.

cupzJaYu said:

well, i'm not surprise..
someday, twitter will ask phone verification..
just like facebook..

btw, my solution is..
buy simcard..
in my country, only 3000 rupiah ($0.3)

and, after verification, keep that simcard..

Hey in indonesia the sim cards can last forever? In malaysia minimum 8 ringgit and can last 2 months only if you don't top up. Wondering if i can somehow buy indo sim cards. I have a lot of accounts and its eating into my profits -_-

How can you tell if your following gets ghosted? I've just started twitter to diversify frm insta and the follow back ratio is miserable! only abt 15% follow back. Ridiculous and I get sms verify everyday. I think my acc may have been ghosted.

Set up a second account, follow it and see if the second account shows the follow. You can check to see if your hashtags are ghosting but searching your own tweets.
Twitter is tougher than any other social network at this point.

This is why I refuse to buy Twitter PVA accounts. There is no way to re-verify them when you don't have the SIM card.

How you even get 15%. I don't even get that high even on IG. Is that an account you're trying to build up or is it an account you dont care?
