Question Online phone number for Google account recovery

[ReekingAura]

I just uploaded a video to my Youtube channel and Google decided it was "suspicious" or something. They logged me out and now I can't log in because they want my phone number.

SIM cards are tied to real names in my country and I don't want to give Google my real number. I tried some of the free sites that let you check text messages online, but they never work for me.

Is there a tried service that gives me a unique WORKING number? I'm even willing to spend a few bucks to get my account back.

Unless you are doing something you shouldn't be doing, why the aversion to using your actual contact info?

Just buy a burner phone, if that big a deal.
