How can I get the phone numbers for google verification?

400    Asked by AnishaDalal in Cyber Security , Asked on Apr 18, 2022

I have several Google verification codes sent from an account called "Google" and also some other Google verification codes received that were sent from four different phone numbers. Does Google use multiple different phone lines for sending out verification codes? How can I tell whether these codes are actually sent from Google?

You can't get phone numbers for google verification I can now send you a code from any number/any name I want and you would probably believe it came from Google. When you try to input the code I sent you to the 2FA it will not work verifying that I am indeed not Google.

EDIT: For anyone reading this in 2020 Google's stock Android sms app(Messages) will now verify who the message is from. If it doesn't say that it is from Google I would suggest that you don't use it and request a new code. Or don't login to that account until things are figured out. Do Google use multiple different phone lines for sending out verification codes Google probably uses a 3rd party service for sending the SMS. Even if they didn't, in order to scale they would need multiple lines since most carriers have SMS limits.
