Google requires a phone number nowadays. And you can't use the same phonenumber more than X times. (Not sure what X is but I hit it last week so had to go on the second phone)
- incompatible 9y agoI didn't know that. But if Facebook still allows sign-ups with an email address only, it gives a way in.
- throwaway47853 9y agoNo it doesn't (at least on the desktop version of the site). You can leave the phone number field blank on the 'Create your Google Account' form. For 2 factor authentication you do need it.
- Moru 9y agoYes it does, you can't get past the second stage. "Please enter a phone number". I'm sure this is different on some things, mabe number of emails created per IP or what country you live in. Google is a big entity, they can afford to treat some areas differently. > Verify your phone number > For your security, Google wants to make sure it’s really you. Google will send a text message with a 6-digit verification code. Standard rates apply
