Getting locked out of Twitter has become a common phenomenon.
With any suspicious activity, Twitter immediately resorts to locking your Twitter account and asking for the OTP sent to your phone number.
Or, Twitter may ask you to verify your phone number before logging in.
Now, there are several scenarios when you don’t use the same number or you don’t own the same number anymore.
In such a case, you need to unlock the Twitter account without a phone number.
Also, there are times when you have never added a phone number, and now, you don’t have a phone to unlock the Twitter account.
If you’ve been facing any of the issues mentioned above, then this article will solve all your problems.
In this article, we will list some of the alternative ways to unlock Twitter account without a phone number.
Follow Email Instructions to Unlock Twitter Account:
When Twitter gives you an option to unlock the account using a phone number, you may/may not get an option to verify using email.
If you see an option to recover your account using an email, you can choose that and proceed.

Verify using Google Voice Number:
Twitter has banned a lot of sites that let you create free numbers and bypass Twitter verification to work on their site.
However, thanks to Google’s reputation and its authenticity, the Google voice number can be used for Twitter verification.
To use Google voice number, you do not need a real phone or number, you can simply generate a number and log in to the Twitter account.
Here are the steps to use Google Voice number:
Step #1: Log into your Gmail account and go to Google Voice. Google will take you to a new screen where you can sign up and generate a free number.
