I had this problem when I was still using gmail. These days I have my own domain and pay for my email services, so I can create aliases without creating accounts. But when I was using gmail I had a few accounts for different things, and at around 5 I couldn’t create more. Which is perfectly reasonable to be fair. I fixed it by deleting some of the accounts. If the authors problem is similar that would probably be the easy solution. If it’s because the author has “inherited” a phone number that has previously been used by other people to create Google accounts then I think the author is going to depend on this HN post catching enough traffic for real people at Google to care. Because I sure didn’t find any help through their support system back then, and simply fixed the issue as a “happy accident”.
