I have tried to create a a Google account with or without a VPN, on fingerprinted device, residential IP, almost any idea on how to not make it private, and it still wants SMS verification. How do people here bypass it create a Google account without all this hassle! Anything I try fails. --- ## Post 2 by @anon57862721 — 2025-11-27T22:03:13Z Please research this forum for similar posts and discussions. You’ll learn that it’s not possible and even if it is and you get lucky, it’s going to be temporary. There is no real way to do this and have it stick. That really is the simplest answer. But you don’t have to believe me, you can discover the same yourself with some reading on here. --- ## Post 3 by @anon789 — 2025-11-27T22:05:28Z I have discovered this to be the same. I thought maybe this group would have had their own secret methods for it, but seems not. Thank you for clarifying. --- ## Post 4 by @ImTooPhaT — 2025-11-27T22:06:09Z I mean, big tech platforms have systems that can detect fake phone numbers. I’ve tried smspool when signing up for Amazon and my account was instantly banned. Maybe you’ll have better luck as I’ve seen some posts on here who have used smspool successfully (though not for Google specifically). Personally, I used my real number and deleted it from my account. And my phone number was changed since then. We all want the same thing my guy! --- ## Post 5 by @Bumbashirovich — 2025-11-28T08:40:46Z Transfer your personal data, perform a factory reset, and insert a temporary SIM card. Create a new account without SMS. Remove the temporary SIM card and insert the permanent one. I did this without SMS. --- ## Post 6 by @ImTooPhaT — 2025-11-28T09:35:34Z Oh, so create a Google account on an Android phone during set-up? --- ## Post 7 by @anon57862721 — 2025-11-28T09:41:50Z For what OP is asking, this won’t be anonymous or even private. Not to mention, Google will at times, depending on where and how you sign in to your account, as for SMS verification on the OG number you made your account with - and with a temp. SIM, you may not have access to it. You simply cannot make a Google account privately enough or anonymously and have it stick for good. --- ## Post 8 by @ImTooPhaT — 2025-11-28T10:09:51Z I don’t believe you can make a Google account “anonymously”, but bypassing SMS would be a big deal. I haven’t been asked for my phone number or SMS verification since my initial account creation. --- ## Post 9 by @anon57862721 — 2025-11-28T10:23:41Z > [@ImTooPhaT](#): > > I haven’t been asked for my phone number or SMS verification since my initial account creation. You must be signed into your account in the app or somewhere else permanently. If this is the case, then you may be able to get away with it. But if you sign in with no Gmail cookies or through different VPN server locations, it will absolutely ask you for verification again and more often. But even then, as long you are signed into your app, you can use the app to authenticate/authorise the new log in attempt elsewhere. So that’s one way to get away with it but is not ideal. --- ## Post 10 by @ImTooPhaT — 2025-11-28T10:40:29Z Yeah, this is true. I’m thinking if one sets up 2FA straight after account creation (which was what I did), theoretically, you could bypass SMS and not have Google ask for SMS authentication. --- ## Post 11 by @anon57862721 — 2025-11-28T10:43:41Z > [@ImTooPhaT](#): > > theoretically Google is an a\*\*hole. It still won’t stick - speaking from experience. But you can try and one’s mileage may vary. --- ## Post 12 by @ImTooPhaT — 2025-11-28T10:45:41Z Yes, I’m not confident the workaround would work, but if for some reason I end up making another Google account, it’s a method I would try. --- ## Post 13 by @Bumbashirovich — 2025-11-28T12:19:24Z The phone has a factory reset feature. After doing this, the phone becomes clean, as if you just bought it. Afterwards, you can change the settings to make it more private. After that, I inserted a temporary SIM card just in case, and created a new account. I turned off the phone and swapped the temporary SIM card for the permanent one. Everything is working. --- ## Post 14 by @TheDoc — 2025-11-28T13:47:33Z > [@ImTooPhaT](#): > > big tech platforms have systems that can detect fake phone numbers.

SIM, you may not have access to it. It’s more expensive but can’t you just use an anonymous “physical” (non-VoIP) number? Either by buying a burner phone and pre-paid plan in cash or if that’s not allowed where you live maybe a service like [Crypton.sh](https://crypton.sh/) might work? (You’d probably want to connect to a VPN server based in the same city as the phone number, preferably using a service less likely to be detected as a VPN.) --- ## Post 15 by @ImTooPhaT — 2025-11-28T13:59:31Z The OP was asking to bypass SMS, so they don’t even want to put in a phone number. I did it the first way. Never heard of Cryton.sh though. --- ## Post 16 by @gattomammone — 2025-11-28T17:16:03Z Disclaimer, I haven’t tried this yet, but I was also about to suggest the same: use crypton.sh for the first-time SMS activation, and after that enable 2FA (with an authenticator app, or a FIDO2 token or similar) and delete your number from your google account. --- ## Post 17 by @xv9 — 2025-11-28T23:41:25Z this is true, ive tried it. Anyway, sms is/was never the problem. The problem is the qr code which (once you scan it) you might as well just sign in from your device, because they will link everything you have on it. > [@Bumbashirovich](#): > > The phone has a factory reset feature.

After that, I inserted a temporary SIM card just in case, and created a new account. I turned off the phone and swapped the temporary SIM card for the permanent one. Everything is working. Even when you do this, how do you know the qr code that ggle uses doesnt link physical id’s from your device the first time you scan it? linking all subsequent accounts to the same device? --- ## Post 18 by @Bumbashirovich — 2025-11-29T09:50:23Z I can’t say anything about the QR code; I didn’t have the goal of anonymity; my task was to clear the device’s memory. --- ## Post 19 by @extremelyBigGuy — 2025-11-29T10:27:08Z > [@anon57862721](#): > > anonymous or even private Isn’t it that anonymity equals privacy? Serious question. --- ## Post 20 by @anon57862721 — 2025-11-29T10:28:33Z It depends how you mean it. Please read up Privacy Guides Knowledge Base here to begin learning more. > **[Why Privacy Matters - Privacy Guides](https://www.privacyguides.org/en/basics/why-privacy-matters/)** > > In the modern age of digital data exploitation, your privacy has never been more critical, and yet many believe it is already a lost cause. It is not. --- ## Post 21 by @anonymous493 — 2025-11-29T13:06:48Z I can’t say this is anonymous but I did create an account successfully without a phone number. My method was going somewhere with free wifi, connecting to that without a VPN, and setting up the Google account through the play store. I didn’t have a sim card in the phone at the time, and used I think the “fake name generator” website for name and whatever else. I’m not sure if it’s true or not but I did hear at one point that maybe not using a last name can trigger it to ask for a phone number. I also only use the account for getting a few apps, have no 2fa, and have had it for nearly a year. --- ## Post 22 by @anon98749087 — 2025-11-29T22:50:53Z i had 2fa set up on my old google account and got a new number thinking i could log in with the 2fa. nope. they in fact require text authentication quite regularly (at least over mullvad vpn). and if you’re not using a vpn, they know who you are. i gave up on the anonymous google account because i’m pretty sure it’s not possible anymore. --- ## Post 23 by @Julie — 2025-11-30T01:00:38Z > [@ImTooPhaT](#): > > Ama You paid for smspool, that claim to be none-voip, and you got banned ? Have you had only one bad experience with them ? I am aware that website and service can detect voip number, but real one are supposed to be ok. --- ## Post 24 by @Julie — 2025-11-30T01:02:24Z You want to create a google account for what reason ?, maybe you can use an alternative. PS: The only google account I have were created years ago without any sms verification. --- ## Post 25 by @extremelyBigGuy — 2025-11-30T10:12:08Z > [@Julie](#): > > years ago without any sms verification. IIRC, Google have been using SMS-based verification for +/- 5 years or so. OFC, correct me if I’m wrong here.So there is possibility that you created your account **before** Google introduced SMS-based verification. --- ## Post 26 by @securitybrahh — 2025-11-30T10:20:59Z Just use [smspool.net](http://smspool.net) --- ## Post 27 by @ImTooPhaT — 2025-11-30T13:28:09Z I’ve also tried for Ticketmaster, but they asked me to verify my number again. So I paid for it twice and just stopped using it after that. --- ## Post 28 by @win11.shading291 — 2025-12-01T21:31:04Z From what I’ve read on other topics, smspool would work, but you would need to pay for it for 3-6 months. But taking that route does contain a risk. When you drop the service, there is always the risk that Google will ask to verify again and you’d then be screwed. Unless you pay for it long term. Getting rid of Google is not easy, especially youtube/maps. Hopefully you find a way. --- ## Post 30 by @mongrel306 — 2025-12-02T06:35:30Z I find it far more difficult to keep something anonymous once it’s been created than to create it anonymously in the first place. They’re probably collecting a terrifying amount of fingerprints, and even one mistake could mean it’s no longer anonymous. --- ## Post 31 by @rob45ls — 2026-06-03T08:42:35Z you can purchase it from [felixmerchant.com](http://felixmerchant.com) Its safer than creating it yourself even with a vpn if you want anonymity. --- ## Post 32 by @Expert4870 — 2026-06-03T09:02:43Z Are you affiliated? I’m wondering the ethics of these sold accounts. Where are they sourced? The prices don’t look terrible $2/account 5 accounts minimum and Monero symbol shown. What’s stopping Google requiring an SMS code once you got the account? And I’d imagine you’d need a good reputation IP address (which comes with hosts of problems) to prevent sms reverification and even still you might be asked. --- ## Post 33 by @mangomango — 2026-06-03T16:22:37Z Their new functioning asks the user to send an SMS. I tried with a lot of different VPN locations, browsers, devices (smartphone and desktop) and could not avoid it. Does someone knows a workaround? I’d personnaly be inclined to trust them when they say “If you scan the QR code, your device and phone number will not be linked to the new Google account.”. What are your thoughts? --- ## Post 34 by @dogeyes — 2026-06-04T13:26:00Z “Anonymous/private accounts” represent exactly the opposite of what Google stands for. It would be bad news for the company if these were even a remote possibility; the data would have limited value and would not come close to the quality of genuine data from authenticated user accounts. --- ## Post 35 by @plus-subzero — 2026-06-04T14:29:11Z I found that if you let the session linger, perform a few Google searches, watch a YouTube video or two, and then return in 48 to 72 hours, it reverts to SMS (Chrome running on macOS, 3 day old experience). I also created an account on stock Android about 3 weeks ago, no QR and optional phone number, so it depends on your signals. No VPN for both. --- ## Post 36 by @plus-subzero — 2026-06-04T14:38:14Z > [@dogeyes](#): > > “Anonymous/private accounts” represent exactly the opposite of what Google stands for. If you read enough of their documentation, you can see that they encourage creating additional purpose Google account, using names that make sense (Nest, Google TV etc). DOB must, of course, be real or at least believable. --- ## Post 37 by @rob45ls — 2026-07-09T14:07:31Z no, i am not affiliated. They are pre made accounts, comes with gmail, password, 2fa key. Even if they ask for verification, you can contact them again. Any issue which comes during logging in you can contact them again. They will help you or just replace the account. And my bad for late reply, I wasn’t active lmao.
