It doesn't matter as long as you can access to your sms with that number. The phone number is only used to set up the process, it is not required for the authenticator to work.

But, I have a account in Canada (with VPN, I am from Southamerica)
I have a number for mobile authentication of Steam from my country... And do I need a new number, of Canada? Steam can banned my two accounts? (I can use a VPN in my mobile, I guess, but the same mobile number?...)
I apologize for my poor english

Si i can use my own Indian mobile number for my CAD acc or I can ask my friend mu canada to just use his number.
As SMS is sent only once. So i can use his number in the app and when he gets the sms i can use it and authenticate.

SMS is just one time verification.

nvm

You can share one number to set up multiple authenticator (of course it is not safe, but it is okay if you are doing it among friends). We literally bought a lot of numbers to set up bot's mobile authenticator. Those numbers are not from our region.

I see. Right now i'm setting up a new site which includes BOT's so with even new trade update its fine for Steam BOT to trade normally?
No changes needs to be made?

Fine I guess as long as you make them work with authenticator.
