How Google verification works
Google asks for a phone number at account creation for abuse prevention, and again whenever a login looks unusual. A temporary number gets you through signup verification without permanently attaching your real number to the account — useful for test accounts, app development, and secondary identities.
Google's number validation is smarter than most: it limits how many accounts a single number can verify (a handful per number, roughly), so heavily-used public numbers often get "This number has been used too many times." The counter is per-number, which is why fresh numbers matter. North American ranges (+1) have the smoothest acceptance for Google specifically.
One warning that belongs in every Google guide: never set a public number as a RECOVERY number on an account you keep. Anyone reading the public inbox could use it to reset your password.

Get SMS for Google — FAQ
Google says the number was used too many times — why?
Google caps how many accounts one number can verify. Public numbers hit that cap fast; take the freshest number listed, which has had the fewest previous verifications.
Is it safe to add this number for account recovery?
No — never. Recovery by a public number means anyone reading the inbox can reset your password. Use these numbers for signup verification only.
