Why is Airbnb saying my phone number is already in use?

Check for Existing Account Another common reason why Airbnb won't take your phone number is because it's already linked to an existing account. Airbnb requires each user to have a unique phone number, so if you've used the same number to create multiple accounts, the system won't accept the number.

Still, be certain each account has unique login credentials (an email address and a telephone number). It is possible to use the same phone number for different Airbnb profiles. For it, you only need to open a new account and then link your telephone number to the newly created account.

Keep in mind, there are different types of Airbnb listing suspensions which can range from 5 days to a few weeks to permanent suspension. With the 5-day suspension, Airbnb does not remove any bookings or delete any reservations during this time resulting in only losing 5 days of booking potential.

Account deletion Once your account is deleted, you can't reactivate it, recover any data, or regain access. You'll need to set up a new account if you want to use Airbnb again. Learn more about exercising your data subject rights.

If your Airbnb account gets suspended or deleted, you cannot create another Airbnb account, as every account is tied to your ID (that's the reason every new Airbnb user must upload and get their ID verified when they create an account).

Airbnb has been prioritizing safety over the past few years in hopes of keeping both hosts and users safe. The company announced a global ban on all parties and events at its listing in 2020 after several people were killed at rentals arranged through its platform. Airbnb made the party ban permanent last year.

Even if you follow all of our steps, there's no guarantee that you'll eliminate Airbnb spying. Hosts don't need hidden cameras and microphones to spy on you during your stay. They can monitor the Airbnb's WiFi network and snoop on your online activity.
