Enter the +686 number
Select Kiribati (+686) in Google's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +686 into Google.

Workers in Australia and NZ: Seasonal workers in Australia and New Zealand often keep a +686 number for family calls and messages.
Google uses the number for account recovery and sign-in challenges long after sign-up.
