I need a Google account to sign up for a service I'm interested in, so I want to create a bogus account for that. Problem is I need a phone number to verify it. I obviously don't want to use my actual number, so I tried some of those online temporary number services, but none of them worked. I get different error messages when trying to use them: "Number has been used too many times", "Number can't be used for verification", stuff like that. Do you guys know of a way to get a working number?

Only way I can think of would be to purchase a burner phone.

Yeah, but what if they decide to verify your phone number here and there. I guess you would need that burner phone active for the lifetime of your account. Not an one off.

If you make an account with a temporary number, don't forget to remove the number from the Google account before your phone number expires.

I'd say the chances are pretty high.
