How do I get into my Gmail account. I know my password from a gazillion years ago. The problem is my original phone number assc. with the account, is no more.
They want to send me a code but they will not send it to my existing phone.
I’ve tried so many times now I’m flagged. If I try to do anything they put a big notation up " Ms.Wrek you are a notorious hacker, for wanting to get into your personal email, so NO we ain’t going to talk to you anymore, Nana Nana BooBoo. We win, you lose!!!"
Every system is different and it has been a while since Gmail wanted to send me a code. That said, IIRC, they offered more than one way to send it. Usually to an email or phone number were my options. I know some other places that want a code (like my bank) offer a number to call but I do not think Google offers that.
Every so often, when logging in to Google, it asks me if my backup info is correct (email and phone number). That happens once every few months it seems. I guess it never asked you for some reason.
So, if your number is gone and it has no other email address for you I am not sure what you can do. I have tried in the past to find phone numbers to call Google for support and I have yet to find one. I guess they figure they have a few billion customers and there is just no way they can handle calls at that level so it simply does not exist.
