Hey folks, I’m setting up a new Google account and it’s asking me for a U.S. phone number. I’m not in the States, and I really don’t want to use my real number for this. Any idea where I can buy US virtual phone number that works with Google verification?

’ve been in the same situation, and I found a great workaround with Grizzly SMS. You can buy US virtual phone number and use it for specific platforms like Google, Instagram, or Uber. Just select the USA and the target service, and they’ll give you a number that can receive the verification SMS. It’s quick, secure, and doesn’t require your personal info.

Got verified in under a minute — that’s amazing, thanks!
