Creating new gmail account - verification "number used too many times"
Been creating new gmail accounts for our church this afternoon for new functions. Used my mobile number to received the verification code. Trouble is that it's been used before and today Google rejected it for that reason. Eventually managed to get round it by using friend's numbers (then changing them once account created).
During the account creation process there seems no alternative to verifying by SMS message.
Have I done something wrong or missed something somewhere?
