About a year ago or so, Google repeatedly asked me for a mobile phone number when logging in. I contacted them and told them I didn't have reception and so no phone, but the demands kept coming. When I couldn't/wouldn't provide them with a mobile number for their text verification, they locked my account. Two attempts to reason with them not only failed, but failed to even elicit a response from their appeals team.
I lost my blog, YouTube and G+ accounts. Heartless bastards can stick it where it fits. Sadly my attempt to set up a Wordpress blog has been a total failure too. Their dashboard doesn't work, preventing me from posting, and their technical help is... well... unhelpful. Anyway Dr. Theda, you have my sympathy and understanding. Hope you have better luck than me in fixing the problem.
Took a few tries but they accepted my Gov issue cell phone...,. They said that they may do this two or three times a year.... Never happened before.... and have been with them for over 3 years...
About to call it a night early (about 2:00am).....
