I tried with a new email address and throw-away public one time use SMS numbers from textrapp.com, esimplus.me, receive-sms.io and 7sim.net. I think Apple knows those are fake numbers.
- razingeden 9mo agoalmost all of those are blacklisted from banks and email providers, yes. btw there’s no restriction on creating new Apple accounts under a phone number that’s already associated with one. I’ve lost access to several Apple IDs over the last 20 years w the same phone number. what there is a restriction on: after creating something like 4 or 5 Apple IDs from the same phone or computer. Apple goes that’s it , this device isn’t allowed to create any more IDs.
- OhMeadhbh 9mo agoSure, but I get an error when I try to use my phone number. It's like a distinction without a difference.
- razingeden 9mo agoDo you have dual eSIM capability on your phone? Or a spare used/old phone with eSIM capability? /r/usmobile has a $10/mo plan that can be up and provisioned (usually in just a few minutes) as a second line. kicker: as long as you’re physically in the US . But you can create an Apple ID with prepaid intl SIMs too.
- OhMeadhbh 9mo agoYeah. I was just looking at cheap tello and mint mobile plans. I think I assumed t-mob plans were horrifically expensive. Thx for the info. I'm in the states, so that simplifies things.
