I had the same once. I couldn’t do PV through the EB but MP said the account needed a PV and wasn’t banned. Unfortunately that was at the times where the API didn’t work. So I just let the acc sit there, but I thought it would be banned. 2 days ago though, the API started working again and to my surprise the account did actually survive, even though it needed another PV the next day and an email verification, it now runs as smooth as ever!
If i verify with phone, problem is i can’t change number to new fresh number.
It only send to original number.
So i verify it and after it logs out. Login again and now i have an other screen verify sms or verify e-mail.
I choose verify e-mail and it works again and instagram.com/accname works again acc=VALID
