Create my own number

[PnP7717]

Is there an app that allows you to create your own phone number, I have an old Google account my deceased brother helped me set up and I cannot remember my password and or answer the questions they ask me to prove it's my account, all I know is my old number, no one has been issued the number how can i get it back so they can send me an SMS to reset password for my account?

You might be able to get a carrier to put that number on a plan for you. No app is going to magically turn that number on to allow it to receive calls or texts as the phone systems won't know how to route it. I don't think even Google Voice will help you out, that has a limited set of numbers it can use.
