Somewhat related: I'm teaching a class on Android, and generally do a lot of development stuff. Anyway, I wanted to set up an actual Google account on an emulator.
Nope, can't to it. It insists on a phone number, but my real phone number is somehow unacceptable. Probably because it is already tied to X other Google accounts.
So...what's the best solution? This must be s common problem for anyone doing Android development?
- hospitalJail 3y agoGosh I hate when they want unique phone numbers. I have a total of 6 LLCs(only 1 of them is profitable), and I use my same phone number for all of them.
- stenio123 3y agoCreate a virtual number with google voice, it is free.
- bradley13 3y agoI really like your suggestion. Sadly, it didn't work for me. My email address was once associated with a small company (that my wife and I ran). So Google considers it to be a commercial address, and wants $10/month for a Google Voice number. Chickens and eggs: I want a new Google account, for which I need a new phone number. But to get a new phone number, I need a different Google account. Annoying...
- euniceee3 3y agoGet another SIM card for the real number. The next block you will hit is needing a real credit/debit card to allow them to do KYC on you.
