Check if there's an option to verify by email. There usually is another way to verify by sending to your backup email.

Hi well no I sort of gave up. I also had a terrible experience. I called customer service and explained my situation and I had to explain myself about 10 times for them to understand that I completely just didn't have the Sim card and that my old phone wasn't logged into the account anymore so I decided to just give up. I suggest that if you have your contacts and photos etc saved on your Google account that you just create a separate email for your samsung account and login with that. I'm sorry I couldn't help. If you find a way please keep me posted thanks.

the service is appalling isn't it. they just don't want to help at all. I've put a complaint in so if i get any kind of results i will be sure to let you know. Thanks for the tip also. I will definitely do that.

I don't see a link to a form. Could you please post again as I'm sick to death of getting know where in help sections so I'm giving up for now..
