how can I use a fake number if I need to get an sms from apple to verify though?
it doesn't verify the billing number, just the two step verification one. And as I Said, for the two step one you can enter your real number

Google is your friend ;-) just search for the postal code of this particular state
 
yeah I got it and it works. Thanks a lot bro!

But my subs I have to do with the us account now right? Like Apple Music?
Yep. Apple Music / App Store and subscriptions.

As I said, once connected to your phone, you can connect back to your EU account. And you have to connect to the US one again (only on your phone after the first time) each time you want to open the app.

credit card don't work if they are not issued in the same country as the Apple ID region. That's why I recommend to switch account when needed (even if it's annoying)

would PayPal work? Or can't I just buy a gift card?
Also notifications only come through if the app is running?

I didn't try PayPal but I heard that it could work.

I couldn't make notification works but it still in beta
 
do you know any vendor where I can buy a US gift card with my European credit card? Apple only lets me buy with us cards
I don't want to be rude, but you should learn how to use google 😅

This is the kind of thing you can find on your own pretty easily

If I connect again to my NL account on the Mac I get the "not available in your country message" Back to US and it works again. So no, it won't stay up after the first time for me.
