> "phone number used too many times" Reminds me of that time we did a project for google. They couldn't give us accounts which was required to do the job for them, too much hassle even for them internally. We bought a dozen phone numbers and invoiced them instead. (There is some humor in invoicing Google for circumventing a Google security system.) Each phone number is good for a handful of accounts per ~2 years iirc. This is in a country with ID verification for a new phone number (no, it's not russia/iran/china... it is germany). The person behind the counter was not happy when I showed up to a busy post office with a stack of ID verification requests. (I couldn't have gone at a quiet time: they scale employees and I queue for 15-20 minutes every time also for a 20-second package pickup, no matter which day of the week, which time of day, or which city I go in.)
