Hi
TL : DR - I need free or cheap virtual SMS service for one off verification for email accounts etc and can't find any that work?
I have hit a brick wall....
I have multiple email accounts and gmail accounts for different uses like different types of forums and youtube accounts etc (which have to be gmail).
I'm locked out of some of my accounts because all of a sudden they started demanding a phone number verification which I don't want to do, and besides I only have one phone number.
I've spent a long time searching for and trying different free sms services and none of them work - I especially need it to work for gmail/google.
They obviously have banned most the free services phone numbers that are used.
I'll consider paying for a service but the ones i've seen are crazy expensive and thats just for one number.
I need 5-10, so need to be affordable for one off use or ideally something where i can keep changing the number for the account?
I really really hope someone has some ideas here as I'm all out?
To be clear - I'm in Australia and we simply do not have burner phones/numbers like they do in the US.
If you want a phone sim card or a phone - you literally have to show ID to buy them.
Otherwise I'd just do that.
Thank you for your help
