This ban was applied to your account because another account cheated while using your verified phone number.
I got banned because i used the same number on more accounts and one of them was cheating. I switched number with my friend because of some contacts and more.. And didnt know that he is cheating...

That's why you shouldn't share numbers with anyone.

In any case, the ban is permanent.

I know that but I didnt know that my friend was cheating on his account and that he was using this phone number

And also every time a new number is added, there will be warnings about what will happen if someone cheats.

Guess you missed that part of information.

Well, someone needs physical access to the phone in order to confirm the add, you can't just simply put whatever phone number without confirmation on the phone. So how did it happen then?

I edited my last comment. If you didn't confirm the add, how did the number get attached to his account without access to the phone?

Bro, we switched our nubmers and Im using his number on steam and got banned now..

Ah, so he attached his number on your account and didn't unlink it on his account and then cheated? Because that is then the only way this could have happened.

Why would you use anyone else's phone number except your own?

The bottom line is that one account was detected cheating while it was linked with another with the phone number.

"How do VAC bans relate to phone numbers?"

VAC bans are applied to all accounts sharing a phone number at the time of the infraction. For this (and many other) reasons we do not recommend sharing your phone number or using another user's phone number on your Steam account. Accounts sharing the phone number that do not own the game the VAC ban is for will still receive a VAC ban and will not be able to purchase the game moving forward.

There are no restrictions placed on phone numbers that were on an account when the account was VAC banned; phone numbers can immediately be used on new accounts.
