no cellphone to verify
there should be an alternative way to verify for those who do not have a cell phone.

Yes. Why not by e-mail ?

To anyone who says "who doesn't have a cellphone ?" [insert the rudest thing you can think about here].
seriously, that's no way to reply to a problem. I could ask you how many times you lost a cellphone compared to how many times you've lost your computer, but I won't.
A requirement for a cellphone is unnecessary and adds a bump for those who have one, and a wall for those who do not. Discord needs to rethink its way. also it needs to answer those help requests.

I would love an alternative way to be verified, please implement one! I have a cellphone through Republic Wireless and nothing else, and since they use VOIP I'm unable to use many servers at all since there is no way to prove that I am human to your system. Please add something. People don't all have landlines, either, so an alternative that doesn't involve one would be good.

I just got locked out of this account (SquawkaZ#3050). Its extremely upsetting for me because I've used it for a year and a half, and have built most of my online presence on it. I literally do not own a cellphone, which means I most likely won't get to ever use this account again. Please discord, add another way to verify your account!

I don't have a cellphone either. Unlike most, I'm not a brainless zombie staring at a cellphone every minute of the day. I have a landline which is sufficient.

i've been using discord for about 3 years and am just now getting this problem. Why can't they just let us complete a captcha or something to verify instead? I do not own a phone nor do i have the money to purchase and pay monthly fees for a phone. I would love to have some other way to verify my account like a captcha or something. I got this problem on saturday before i had left for a concert and i've been very annoyed ever since. The majority of my online presence and friendbase is on discord, and i'm getting more and more annoyed by the minute. Seriously, just let us complete a captcha or something to verify it would make everyone's lives much much easier

Just got an email from Discord. Thank you so very much for making my already stressful day much more stressful. I enjoy hearing that its not a fixable problem. I've had my account for THREE years, with no issue. This needs to be fixed. I'm a server owner, admin, and mod, and I have several servers I'm in for school and work. I cannot make a new account and I DO NOT HAVE A PHONE NUMBER I CAN USE. This is a very good way to LOSE users, not gain them. Fix this problem, Discord.

Dear Discord ,
Certainly you hear that some users above 13 doesn't have a phone number. There's way to turn thing around than just using phone number to verify. Aren't there way other than phone like for example using email address to verify is a better way? We just get LOCKED out or unable to chat in certain server. But all you guys did was ignore it!! I agree with these people that we demand a better way than just using a phone number to verify. I hope you understand what I'm saying. Thanks :)
Sincerely ,Terry

Another downvote for Discord on this.
They better be careful, Guilded.gg has basically made a Discord 2.0 and it's far more useful from a front end user side and back end programming side.
It is the little things like this that will literally keep people away.

Why is there no email option? I don't have a phone, so what am I supposed to do? Discord, explain.

I hate this im locked outside my account and i dont have a phone number so what do i need to do to verify i was just messaging my friend

just spent 2 days workingnon a server, then I get banned as a joke, I go back, and I need to verify my phone number. I dont have a cell phone. this is stupid, if I have to result to using my alt for my discord im gonna be very disappointed in this system.

I am someone who does not use a cell phone. Its a waste of money for cheap spenders like me who can just use VOIP for the same purposes other than verifying.
My bank lets me use an Encrypted Email (such a Protonmail) to verify instead of a phone. I would happily change my email to my proton account if this was implemented for discord. As of now, I mostly just cant talk in protected servers, but it would be devastating to get locked out of my account for the same reason.
If bank cybersecurity is fine with encrypted emails, why isn't discord? Cell Phones are not the future. Voip platforms are, you guys should know this the best.7 -
I think you all misunderstand the apathy here. Its not that they cannot fix the problem. They created the problem. They are never going to fix it because the purpose to implement this has NEVER been about "creating safety". It is and has always been about exploiting content creators and server admins into helping them creating a database of cellular tracking data of its users. This does NOTHING to protect anyone.
This is why this has been an issue with discord for at least the 3 years that discord forums have had people making this same complaint. Its not a technical problem they cant code. It is not a policy issue they cant adjust. It is not a security issue that they cannot provide for a logical alternative means of verification. They have known of this issue for years and have made no meaningful steps to correct it and they are not going to.
So if you still have access to discord (I still do but who knows for how long with policy escalation) make sure you dont do logical security things like use a VPN on the same machine as you use discord cause if you get stuck behind this verification, all signs point to there being no method of getting out from behind the wall. As for servers requiring this ridiculous level of security, your only hope is to speak to the respective server admin and get them to understand why this is a problem. If you have any method of even communicating with them at all.

ok 2 times in a row this happened and not out of only me the people that commented days, weeks, and years discord members that don't deserve to have to verify their phone number if they do and don't have a phone we shouldn't have to take the time out of our day to verify our account more
And discord your $2 billion makes me disappointed

Okay you Discord f*ckers. I’ve been using this service for a long time and this has happened twice now. Once on an old account two years ago, and now. And both times it was because I got a new phone and new phone number and it wouldn’t receive messages for some reason. Called my phone company, zero problems on there end. This is ridiculous, and after I read the previous comments I’m starting to realize that this has been a problem since the beginning. Just fix it. I realize that some people don’t have phones or phone numbers and you can’t do anything about it, but this is happening even to users who HAVE PHONE NUMBERS TO VERIFY.
So please, my dear discord staff, pull your finger out of your ass and fix the problems on your platform after this Carson Conundrum is over or your entire company is as much of a clown as my profile picture.
Sincerely,
Adar Hitrock6 -
does discord not realize that a mobile phone costs MONEY, not everyone has enough to be paying 50 dollars a month for a mobile phone number

Please just please unlock my discord account. I am very sad and frustrated by the fact I wanted to join a discord emote servers and that I was going to get nitro today. Isn't that what ReCaptcha is for -.- since I am not a bot and that I have a verified email, I confess I tried using a vpn to get on discord because I love my friends, also my friend shunk and doglover gave me landline numbers and google voice. Please unlock me I just wanted to join servers so I can flex my emotes to my friends and now I am locked out with a screen that says verify your phone number but I don't have one . I guess this is bye bye discord if I can't verify my phone. I can show you my face and call you via google meet to show you I am human. Please reply fast to get this solved I am very sad at this issue I already sent another email before but I didn't say everything now I am saying everything so please help me
