Cannot make a new Google account
MichaelPh_88902 Do you have add on credit to pay for the short code messages that you want to send?
You can check the price of each one here:

Particularly for competitions, you will need credit to pay for those messages (plus any costs of entry in the competition)
When you start a Google account using the 'standard' method, don't they send you a code via sms from a short code number for you to input on screen? Wouldn't that do away with needing to send a short code sms yourself?
I think most of the networks will charge for this type of short code sms....unless anyone can suggest otherwise?
Nope i don't have any extra credit, i'm just on a normal pay monthly tarriff.
Me trying to use the normal way of creating a new account, i just get to a point of verification, and it show's me a QR code that opens a webpage on my phone, and then it wants me to send a text.
And that's where it i get an error message.
