It's possible to sign up without, probably depends on some analysis on your IP and environment.
Sometimes I get a good IP and manage to sign up for 2-3 accounts before it demands a number.
However, those accounts are more likely to get locked up in the future, requiring a phone number to unlock.

- dreambo 5y agoI've used to use them as an OAuth provider for a different service. Now it's not worth the effort. They are also needed to use Android hardware with a functional store. Unfortunately those things are tied too much together. I can't say I blame them for doing that, although I'd appreciate them having different measures against truly mass account creation compared to my very humble manual work.
