Story

I recently started a non-profit, and after being approved for Google Nonprofits I tried to enroll in Google Workspace.

I created an account but upon login it prompted me for a phone number for "additional security". After entering my cell, I got the message: "This phone number has already been used too many times for verification."

There seems to be no way around this whatsoever short of getting a new phone number. There's no way to contact a human being for support. Removing my cell # from other accounts (i.e. college, work) seems to have no effect.

A scary thought came to mind: If Google ever decides to kick me out of their system for my main account, I'm toast. I use it for everything.

How can I begin to practically "deGoogle" myself?
