Is getting an email address for tech folks even "easy" these days? Most services now seem to require a mobile phone number (virtual numbers like Skype numbers seem to be excluded). There are also various mobile operators whose numbers don't work, for whatever reason.
I've personally found getting a new address from gmail etc often problematic.
- sk0g 9y agoGmail maybe, making an account at mail.com was dead easy. On the flip side, you have to keep pointing out "mail, without a g at the beginning," so who knows if that's worth it.
- ali_af 9y agoGmail actually banks on the idea that most people just fill out whatever fields they are presented. The phone number is not actually required to register an account.
- tinus_hn 9y agoIf you keep using the account at one point you'll be required to add your phone number or you won't be able to login.
