I ported my longtime cell number into GV a while back and have also noticed that it kept working everyplace where I ended up leaving it. I suspect they only run these checks upon the addition of the number, and not ever again. I hate that the fraudsters make it so that we Can't Have Nice Things, but I also see why and if anything we need more ways to add costs (calibrated to be manageable to spend once, but costly if you get banned daily) for account creation in a lot of places.
