Actually you are wrong, because many companies like Google, Facebook, etc., have systems in place that know about all the Spam/Disposable numbers out there in the world.
Of course this can also be a cat and mouse chasing game, just like how Antivirus works, but soon enough the newer generated numbers are caught and blacklisted.
Using Spam/Disposable numbers with companies that know how to combat this is not that easy to get away with.
I won't argue that some will get through the system, but the majority will not, and this is a good layer of security to add, by having Phone Verification on Origin Accounts!
If Google can do this, given the amount of money EA makes, they can also invest in this to combat at the Phone Verification level for Accounts!
P.S. @taderMash_twitch
You should change the Post Title as example, to hopefully draw EA's attention to it!
EA - Add Origin 'Phone Verification' To Help Combat Cheating
Not sure what you getting on about the 1 pound Sim?
Yes there are cheap cell plans and sims and numbers to be had, it all depends on where you live in the world, some places yes, some no.
Sure someone can still cheat, but they might find them self spending money all the time getting banned and needing new sim cards or new cellphone plans.
Anyhow nothing is perfect or fool proof, but phone verification will add a layer that makes it just a little bit harder, and for some, not worth the effort, or can afford...
