* Hi,
* I have 2 people that have the same telephone number. When I create the 2 users
on WordPress and I put the same number on registration, WordPress not allow me
to complete the registration and inform me on the second registration that this
number is linked to another user. Is any way to skip this checking and allowing
multiple users with the same telephone number?
* Thank you!

* Hey,
* Since there is no filter on the validation, the only way is to modify the handler.
here is an example (but I haven’t tested it)
* ```wp-block-code
add_action('wp_sms_mobile_filed_handler', function ($handlers) {
$handlers['add_mobile_field_in_profile'] = CustomWordPressMobileFieldHandler::class;
return $handlers;
});
use WP_SMS\Helper;
use WP_SMS\Option;
class CustomWordPressMobileFieldHandler
{
public function register()
{
add_action('user_new_form', array($this, 'add_mobile_field_to_newuser_form'));
add_filter('wp_sms_user_profile_fields', array($this, 'add_mobile_field_to_profile_form'), 10, 2);
add_action('register_form', array($this, 'add_mobile_field_to_register_form'));
add_filter('registration_errors', array($this, 'frontend_registration_errors'), 10, 3);
add_action('user_profile_update_errors', array($this, 'admin_registration_errors'), 10, 3);
add_action('user_register', array($this, 'updateMobileNumberCallback'), 999999);
add_action('profile_update', array($this, 'updateMobileNumberCallback'));
}
public function getMobileNumberByUserId($userId)
{
$mobileNumber = get_user_meta($userId, $this->getUserMobileFieldName(), true);
return apply_filters('wp_sms_user_mobile_number', $mobileNumber, $userId);
}
public function getUserMobileFieldName()
{
return apply_filters('wp_sms_user_mobile_field', 'mobile');
}
// add mobile field input to add user admin page
public function add_mobile_field_to_newuser_form()
{
echo Helper::loadTemplate('mobile-field.php');

/**

$fields['mobile'] = [
'id' => 'mobile',
'title' => __('Mobile', 'wp-sms'),
'content' => ''
];
return $fields;
}
// add mobile filed input to add user in front-end
public function add_mobile_field_to_register_form()
{
$mobile = (isset($_POST['mobile'])) ? Helper::sanitizeMobileNumber($_POST['mobile']) : '';

}
if ($mobile_number) {
$mobile = Helper::sanitizeMobileNumber($mobile_number);
$validity = Helper::checkMobileNumberValidity($mobile);
if (is_wp_error($validity)) {
$errors->add($validity->get_error_code(), $validity->get_error_message());
}
}
return $errors;
}
/**

* I just tried it, it doesn’t work, unless I need to modify something in the code.
I didn’t change anything in the code.
* I tried it on functions.php file.

* I tested and worked fine, no validation for duplicate numbers in admin → edit
profile users.
* Please make sure this option is set to [https://capture.dropbox.com/aFmGniiTFRKJqoa8](https://capture.dropbox.com/aFmGniiTFRKJqoa8)

* I try it again. No works. I have enabled the mobile field option on WP-SMS settings.
I put code on functions.php on theme folder. I try to make a second user with
the same mobile of one existing user and show me the error message that a another
user has this mobile. I also try to add a random number and later to edit this
number on User->Profile, set the same number (of a existing user) and I have
the same error that a another user use this phone.

* I think the new handler is not working, please put some logs into the actions
to make sure that the handler is working fine.
* As you can see, the function **Helper::checkMobileNumberValidity** which is responsible
to check the number validity, is commented on the example.
