Howdy fellas!

So, how does everyone feel about the SMS protect feature being required for using Paypal on the RMAH? Aside from annoyance factor, my biggest issue is this -

Can I link my phone to more than one Battle.net Account for Battle.net SMS Protect?
No, you may only link one Battle.net account to a single mobile number for SMS Protect. You will receive notifications and generated security codes at that number for the linked account.

For all of us that have multiple sessions / bots available, this is kinda a buzz kill. I dunno about you, but I don't plan to own 3+ cellphones just to sell gold on the RMAH. Therefore, the only option i have is to sell the gold from just one account. The problem with that is going to be just like on WoW, if you are moving anything considered "large" amounts of gold around, Bliz throws the banhammer at you. Sure, in D3, 20mil buys you a single item, but the main forums are already blowing up with "i got banned from RMAH for large transaction xyz". What do you guys think? Just an annoyance, or a real issue?

Easy solution, make google phone numbers. You can have an infinite amount and they're free. Enjoy and don't abuse, but ya you can have infinite amounts of "mobile phone numbers"
 
Thought about that, and its a good plan, but one of the things being complained about on the official forums is that VOIP numbers (ie google, skype, ect) are not useable. I read further down the FAQs for this-

What devices are eligible for Battle.net SMS Protect?
Any standard cell phone in a supported country with a data plan may be used as a Battle.net SMS Protect device. Cell phones with prepaid plans may not work with the SMS Protect service. SMS Protect cannot be used with Voice over IP (VoIP), and VoIP numbers that are transferred to a local provider will not be eligible for Battle.net SMS Protect.

So sadly, Google can't save us (yet. I should ask them to buy Bliz)
 
Blizzard keeps throwing "Your number is a VOIP number", I use this number for everything, it's my skype number... gay :(
