  "textContent": "Just wanted to let you guys know I’ve just registered a new Google account successfully with an Android phone with an expired SIM, and Google didn’t ask for phone number or require me to scan a QR code.\n\nRegarding the expired SIM, I bought the SIM and used it for a while and didn’t register my ID so it is now completely locked. I’m not sure if the expired SIM helps, because I didn’t test creating a new account with the same phone but without the SIM card.",
