Hello! So I need to create a Google account that I will only use on non Android devices (so no GPS tracking), but when I try to create one with my real IP address, iCloud Private Relay or a VPN, it keeps asking me for my phone number. (I know you can create one from an Android device that is alread…

Google and Apple are extremely difficult to fool with a temp. phone number these days. The only thing that works now is jmp.chat in my experience if you want to pay for a number temporarily. But using VPNs and other obfuscation methods to sign in different places and devices will flag the account on…

When I did a similar thing from a phone, Google prompted me with a system thing where I could only receive an SMS from the native SMS app and not from anywhere. Meaning that the web view from the creation flow would prompt me to go to the SMS app and if denied, the web view would told me that the s…

bought anonymous prepaid SIM from a local store slotted into a phone while being on a public wifi to create a new google account But as I said, I couldn’t get past the whole SMS by typing in a phone number, required me to go through the SMS app. Turns out I don’t care that much because it was sti…

[image] kissu: bought anonymous prepaid SIM from a local store Got it. Yeah, that is the cheapest, most effective way to create an anonymous account, if you’re lucky enough to live, or be in country that don’t require KYC for prepaid SIMs. I would also recommend everyone, if you intend to ju…

[image] kissu: Exactly what I did, got a nice SIM to bring back home then realized that to activate it: requires KYC online (as in upload your passport to a website). :joy: Yes, that happens. Some countries require KYC when you buy the SIM card. Others, will let you buy the SIM card without K…

[image] PurpleDime: use a VPN when you get back home and log into your account If you use an account with a private browser like Mullvad and a VPN, the accounts get banned really fast. Mine one lasted a day and the other a week. The only way to get your account back is through support. You ca…

Depending on which account, I might not need to have perfect anonymity. For example if I do create a 2nd Google account for streaming, I per-se don’t need to use it while be anonymous and…streaming on YouTube Live. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Yet I still need to not have it public for everyb…

[image] anon59300808: Mine one lasted a day and the other a week. The only way to get your account back is through support. You can create it anonymously, but you can’t really use it anonymously. I created my account in Mullvad. Are you saying that you were in a similar boat than me? Meaning …

I mean, I used the same IP and the same browser, I didn’t clear the cookies, but about a day later I get a message saying I’m blocked for suspicious activity, that they can’t help me, and to contact support. On my other account, I only logged in once to grab the Gemini API key, but I still got banne…
