Virtual Number for Gmail and Google Account Verification

When you create a Google Account, Google decides case by case whether to ask for a phone number. Sometimes the step is optional or skipped; other times it's required, especially on a device or network that has created many accounts. The text reads like G-123456 is your Google verification code. Google may also reject numbers with a message such as This phone number cannot be used for verification. Noir SMS rents mobile numbers from carriers rather than VoIP lines, which Google usually accepts, and refunds you automatically if the code never arrives.

Quick answer

Yes. Google sometimes skips phone verification when you create a Gmail account and sometimes requires it. When it asks, rent a US, Canada or UK number for Google on Noir SMS, enter it, and copy the G- code from your dashboard. If Google rejects the number or no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, the charge is refunded. Add a recovery email you control.

How to get your Google code

STEP 01

Rent a Google number

Pick Google / Gmail in Noir SMS and choose the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom.

STEP 02

Enter it on the verify screen

When Google shows the phone step, select the country, enter the number and tap Next.

STEP 03

Type the code

Enter the six digits from the G- message in your dashboard. If Google then offers to use the number with other Google services, you can skip that.

Before you verify Google

This number cannot be used for verification

Google rejects numbers it considers overused or risky, regardless of carrier. If you see this, cancel after 2 minutes for an instant refund and try another number later.

Recovery: use email, not the rental

Google may suggest saving the number as your recovery phone. Skip it, or remove it later in your Google Account's Security settings, and add a recovery email instead.

2-Step Verification without SMS

If you turn on 2-Step Verification, use passkeys, Google prompts or an authenticator app rather than codes to the rented number. Google may ask for a phone to enable it, so add your own number there.

Google virtual number: FAQ

Can I create a Gmail account without a phone number?

Sometimes. Google doesn't always require phone verification, and on some devices the step can be skipped. When it's required, you need a number that can receive Google's SMS. A Noir SMS number covers that one-time check, and you're refunded automatically if no code arrives within 20 minutes.

Why does Google say this phone number cannot be used for verification?

Google blocks numbers that have been used for many accounts or flagged by its abuse systems, and it often rejects VoIP numbers. Noir SMS numbers are mobile numbers, so they usually pass, but Google can still refuse one. If it does, cancel for a refund and try a different number.

Will I need the number to sign in to Gmail later?

Usually not, if you set up other options. When you sign in from a new device, Google may ask you to verify it's you and can use your recovery email, a Google prompt on a signed-in phone or a passkey. Just avoid making the rented number your only verification method.

Can I use a UK or Canadian number for a Gmail account in the US?

Yes. Google accepts phone numbers from many countries, and the number's country doesn't lock your account to a region. Choose whichever +1 or +44 number you prefer; if Google rejects one, the automatic refund lets you try a number from another country. Your recovery email matters more than the number.

Is it allowed to verify Google accounts with rented numbers?

For your own accounts, yes. Google's policies and Noir SMS's acceptable use both prohibit creating accounts in bulk, for spam or for impersonation. Each rented number is for a single verification, and every account you create should follow Google's terms of service.
