Going Insane Trying to Make a New Account
So you know how every university and workplace makes you sign up for some google account? Yeah. Over the past 10+ years I've hit the limit of times I can use my phone number. I'm going insane.
I do not want to change my number and lose contact with a ton of people. There is no "try another way" option, just a QR code, so I can't even use a friend's phone. Have tried with VPN on and off, on my desktop computer and my phone (ios) on different networks. AI assistant is no help per usual, and obviously no customer support.
Is there any way around this? I'm going crazy fr. Only thing I can see is "wait some undefined amount of time and maybe it'll work then." Wtf??? I'm so confused.
Thanks in advance
