ANthropic never wanted my money anyway... they don't allow work + personal accounts to have the same phone number. I had to close my personal account otherwise I could not complete onboarding at work.

So I pay for Codex instead.

You need to onboard with your personal phone number at work?

Why not with email?

[mastazi]

Anthropic forces everyone to verify both.

I have a seat in my company's enterprise plan and never gave a phone number.

Maybe it depends on the plan. We are on Team not Enterprise.

You should be blaming your employer for forcing you to use a personal device to access company resources. You should have been given a company phone or stipend.

I did complain about it in our chat and my boss later reached out, offering to set up a number on our company's Twilio account but by that time I had already entered my personal number.

UPDATE: it appears this is no longer a problem. Just tried again today, after verifying the number they ask if this is a personal or work account, I selected "Personal" and now I can use Claude both for work and for my own stuff.

You can just get numbers online, no need for SIMs anymore nowadays.
