Not sure where else i could post this so figured i would give it a try on here. I upgraded chrome on my desktop last night and it needed to verify my account by sending me a pin number through text message.  No big deal, right?  Well i have my Sprint number ported to Google Voice account so the pin number i need to log in to google goes to GV and i can't receive it because i can't log in...  I sent in for help and they say it will be 3-5 days before they can verify it's me.  Does anyone have any ideas for how i can see this pin? Disable my port doesn't seem to be an option.  It doesn't give me any other options besides texting so right now im without gmail, texts, snapchat, google music, etc.  Screwed this one up big time.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Google verification can be tough to make changes too. Best to disable it then re-enable it. My father in law recently got locked out of his Galaxy S5 and Google took 6 days to reset it and help him...all because he enabled two factor authentication.

I think it's too late because I already have it enabled. I created a new Google account so I have Snapchat back but no texts, gmail, or music still. Hopefully Google will come through and I can add my tablet number for verification so this doesn't happen again. They asked when my google account was created and a bunch of other questions I don't really know the exact answer to.

I went to sprint to see if they could help me undo my GV port or have any ideas and they had no idea what I was talking about. Typical.

 

I would lose all my photos, 7.99 all access rate, youtube videos, emails. That would suck!

Call into customer service. The should be able to give you the code/or a way around it if you can provide enough information to verify your account.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
