It takes one formerly severly technologically challenged ( now just moderately) to relate to the  challenges the OP faces.

If I overcame my lack of ability you can too! I did it thanks to a very patient and helpful community and im still learning everyday!

I apologize on my first post....never thought you were doing all on the same device.

You need to "minimize" the google page and go to your "texting" page. The easiest way to achieve this is to press the back arrow (on the bottom right) on your phone to get to your home page then open your google app or vice versa. Then the "minimize"" square on the bottom left then tap the page you need.

Then use the minimize button to show your open apps and tap on that to open that app back up.

@cjshepard Your phone should be able to remember in the memory if it's good enough. You can leave the web page opened with filled info. When you get a text, you can pull that notification just enough to see the verification code. If your phone can't even do this, you can use another device to sign up for a Google account.

Try again and have the phone right by you.
