- Try the recovery email<\/b> option if it appears.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Use a <\/span>non-VoIP, private route<\/b> to avoid shared-pool blocks.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Example error:<\/b> \u201c<\/span>This phone number cannot be used<\/b>.\u201d \u2192 Change country\/route or use a <\/span>rental<\/b> with better deliverability.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>How to Recover Proton Mail Without a Phone Number<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nLost your old line? You still have paths back in.<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Recovery email first:<\/b> If you set one, use it to reset and verify.<\/span><\/li>\n
