Unable to verify phone number despite numerous attempts
My phone number is used just for this account. I know about the 2 accounts per phone number per year rule.
Here's what I did:
- waited 24 and 72 hours
- tried different numbers from different carriers, from friends, family, acquaintances, and random people
- wrote phone numbers in different formats like xxx xxx xxx (like in the screenshot), xxxxxxxxx, and +386xxxxxxxx (+386 is the international calling code for Slovenia), (xxx) xxx-xxx,
- tried from a desktop PC and phone
- tried with and without a VPN
- cleared cache and cookies
- set my location to Slovenia in YouTube and Google accounts
- used different browsers
- updated browsers and apps
Regardless, every time I enter a phone number, I always get the same error message:
- for text message: "There was a problem sending a verification code to [phone number]. Please enter a different phone number."
- for voice call: "You have recently made too many attempts. Please try again later."
I'm not sure what else to do. Does anyone know the solution to this?
In this state, I cannot upload custom thumbnails and videos longer than 15 minutes, which is frustrating.
I did not have this issue verifying my phone number for the Google account.
