The phone number origin doesn't matter as people will move around for work or personal reasons. The only thing that matters is the store region, as you must have the currency of the country you set to make a purchase with said regions pricing.

Hello, I had a question, I can't connect my mobile number to Steam, I try to get the number, but the email also comes, but Steam says (To reduce fraud, Steam cannot accept the phone number provided. Account. Click here for more information. .)

Valve does not allow VoIP numbers.

Yes, you can usually enter a phone number from a different region—it shouldn’t be an issue as long as the platform supports international numbers. I’ve done this myself when I moved countries and needed to update my info. Just make sure the number you’re using is active and can receive verification texts or calls.

If you’re using a non VOIP number[www.tardigrada.io], it’s typically safer and more reliable for these situations. When I updated mine, I ran into trouble using a VOIP number, but switching to a physical SIM card fixed everything quickly.
