Any way around gmail phone verification?

Hey guys, I've been flipping sites recently & like to include as many extras as I can when I sell, and I was wondering if anyone knew a way around the google phone verification so that I can set up a buzz account?

I know buzz isn't that popular right now, but every little thing helps & who knows? maybe it'll be all the rage in the next year or two

Anyway, I know I could just buy a pre-paid phone and whatnot, but I'd rather not spend the cash on the phone & I don't want to attach my personal number to anything I'm selling, so does anyone know if there's a trick to get around this? (or get a free phone number/text message number?)

Thanks
Tori

    Even though I think its un-ethical to avoid anything like google phone verification, I can respect your desire for privacy.

    So, do you have any pay phones in your town that allow incoming calls? Perhaps at the local corner store? And do you have a smart phone or laptop with wireless internet access.

    Hello, Tori.
    I don't think people will know your phone, just the google people. Unless you are doing something like spam or illigal that you don't want anyone to know. It isn't big a deal for the google to know it. But however a prepaid phone is just 10 bucks or even free if you live where I live. Or you could use the Ipod application that give you a phone number. They can then text you the certify code without knowing about your personal stuff.

    If you have an iTouch/iPhone and WiFi, there is a free app that will give you a phone number that Google can verify via text message; we've done it.

    The person I was working with had already confirmed a couple of Google accounts (who has just one?) on his phone and he found the app and got it done with his iTouch.
