New Email Address - That Doesn't Require Phone Verification

[joko]

i am trying to open a new email address - but so far they all insist on my phone number to send a verification text!

I dont want to add my number as i know they either sell them or they get phished and i get inundated with sales calls etc

does anyone know any free sites that dont insist on this ?

i have tried yahoo, gmail and hotmail

thanks

Did not have to offer a phone number when setting up a gmail address.

maybe its new thing as i've never had to before - but i just tried a gmail one and it insisted on a text verification

Gmail asks for it, but there is a "skip" option at the bottom of the window (in small writing) if you don't want to do it.

I know because I set one up a few weeks ago and selected "skip"

I have opened a gmail email account recently without them having my phone number.

I use GMX and I'm happy to recommend their service. They most definitely don't need a phone number from you:

Yes, It may happen sometime to prevent scam. If you are facing issue to create your Email account because of phone verification that requires for creating a Gmail account. Don't worry about this. There are several websites that are available which will help you to create your Gmail account without phone verification. As I also faced the same issue but https://www.emailready.com/ helped me for email verification to create Gmail account successfully. It also provides me various level of checking such as
1. System Check.
2. Domain check.
3. Spam Check.
4. Fake Check.
5. SMTP Check.
