Assuming you used a real sim?

I would not use the embed browser to add in my number, but the API. Bans still happen 82 out of 2 sucks obviously), not much you can do about it. What proxy provider did you use? How old were the accounts and did they have a good amount of followings already? If they had a bunch of followers send in an appeal, if no move on IMO.

There is also a cool down period for proxies, we wrote about it here in the forum. When you add new proxies to MP, give them a few days before adding accounts to them.  
The reason is, someone heavily abused that proxy yesterday, got banned, asked for replacement proxy, then you bought it and flagged your accounts.

interesting ! then how we would know if adding accounts will make them banned ? should we try with one account or is there any alternative ?

Cool down period is a speculation. If you ask any proxy provider, they will deny it. I had problems in the past when adding accounts to new proxies. So, give them few days off, add few accounts, and if all goes well, add them in bulk.
