A +49 number from Germany for Google. No code, no charge: nothing is billed if Google never texts it. You pick Germany in SMS For U, enter the number where Google asks for one, and the Google code appears in your account seconds after Google sends it. Whether Germany can be picked for Google at this moment is shown in the app — that part changes through the day, so this page does not claim it.
How you get your code
- Search Google inside SMS For U.
- Choose the market you want the Google number to come from, out of whatever the app currently offers.
- One confirmation later the number belongs to you.
- Put it into Google at the sign-up form, or Account → Security → Phone and request your code.
- Google texts it over, SMS For U catches it for you, and you copy it across.
Why a phone number is asked for
People look for this exact pair for one of two reasons: Google behaves differently depending on where the number comes from, or the account is meant to read as Germany. Because Google can ask for the same number again later, the country you choose now is the country the account keeps. If Google turns a German number down, that is Google's decision about a whole range of numbers — another country usually helps faster than a second try with the same one.

Common questions
Does Google accept numbers from Germany?
We do not promise that it does, and no honest page could: Google decides which ranges of numbers it accepts, and it changes them. If it refuses one, cancel and take another country — you pay nothing for a number that brought no code.
How do I get a Google code on a German number?
Open SMS For U, search for Google, pick Germany and confirm. Enter the +49 number at Google (the sign-up form, or Account → Security → Phone) and ask for the code; it appears in your SMS For U account by itself.
What if the German number does not work for Google?
Cancel the order and take a different country. The refusal applies to a range of numbers rather than to the one number, so a second try from Germany usually ends the same way.
