Gmail wont let me confirm with my phone number
I got a new gmail account and used my cell number as confirmation. Now when I try to log in gmail tells me there is suspicious activity on my account (there isnt). It asks me to use my phone to confirm, but when I enter my cell number it says that number has been used too many times ( it hasn't) and I have to use another number. When I enter my landline it says that wont work. I am running out of numbers! What does gmail want?. Thank you.

Have you tried these steps from Google Support?
https://support.google.com/accounts/.../7682439?hl=en One reason to not use free email accounts for important purposes is that they don’t provide full customer support. Bill |

I wonder if a new account would help
------------------------------------------------ Still can’t sign in Create a new account ----------------------------------------- If you can’t sign in, try these tips for account recovery. If you still can’t recover your account, you can create a new Google Account. When you do, you can follow these steps to avoid getting locked out of your Google Account. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ However it looks like you might get into the same bind. At one time you could skip phone verification, not sure if you can presently. A virtual number might help (but it can't be VOIP) |
