Google Account Activation

[Cryptic]

I have quite a few google accounts and recently one of them needs a phone verification to get into it. I would use my cell, but it's already being used for other google accounts (and they only allow so many - it's telling me the number has been used too many times)

 

Does anyone have a method to get it activated for free or very cheap? I've tried those free sms websites, but to no surprise, they've all been used and I get the same error message.

Have u tried using a text/call app that assigns actual phone numbers, like TextNow?

Ask a friend or family member if you can use their phone number?

 

Another option is to buy a prepaid phone that doesn't require a contract. A cheap flip style TracFone at Walmart will cost about $20-30.

Yep. Google detects most voip phone numbers and blocks them from being used.

Yeah but then you have to pay for a whole month's worth of a plan, which is mostly over $10. It adds up just to verify the account >_>
