Here is my situation. My computer had messed up which caused almost all my information stored on there to be lost. Second, I lost my phone (or its service ended) and can't get it back. Third, I created a new email address in hopes of recovering my Google account but to no avail, same goes to my Yahoo! email. We miss the guitar riff to the old Yahoo! jingle and the classic Google logos... I have lost access to my accounts to websites connected to my Yahoo! email. Which includes my Steam account, my DeviantArt, my subscriptions and registry keys to software I paid for, and some. I still have access to my Amazon account, my Dailymotion, my Photobucket, and my registry keys to different RPG Maker variants. I'm not the only one who lost access to my Google account, there are others who lost access to theirs. The fate of my Google account rested in my dad's hands. Me (well, used to be me), my parents have Verizon for phone service. I suggested to dad to switch our phones over to Sprint so that we could pay half price and still keep our phone numbers. But dad wasn't willing to give up 1% of coverage in favor of cheaper rates. I thought 1% coverage difference wouldn't be a bad thing. My hometown is in Wichita, Kansas, USA. Dad looked at the coverage map on Sprint's website and saw that there's no coverage between El Dorado and Eureka in the rural areas of Butler and Greenwood counties. Fredonia might have coverage, but I don't know. I miss living in Wilson county. I devoted 15 years of my life there. Things have changed as I decided to move back to Wichita so that I'm closer to a fire department over concern of my safety. What's better? Paying $80/mo. USD for 2 phones? or paying $60/mo. USD for 3 with near identical coverage? Most of 'em would go for the latter because Sprint charges $20/mo. USD per phone compared to $40/mo. USD per phone that AT&T and Verizon charge for. But dad went with the former and shut off the service for my phone. We were saving money, but $40/mo. USD saved is not enough. We're spending $20/mo. USD too much for phone service. My dad made an awfully bad mistake that affected the future of access to my Google account, so did my computer messing up affecting it too. Oh woe is me...

Okay. I'll see if that helps.
