In any case, the ban is permanent.
"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."
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?
The bottom line is that one account was detected cheating while it was linked with another with the phone number.
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.
