I'd have done the same thing. I don't give out information like that to ANYBODY online!


That's spooky!

By the way, what's your number, Gaillo?







;D

Cell phone? That's a bit much.

I still have a few old yahoo accounts with only three letters for the password before they started cranking down.

what's spooky is that a year ago I signed up for 5 gmail accounts with similarity's to my name

just to preserve them if I ever want to use them in the future for my business

one of the accounts that I have never used receives approximately

30 spam messages a day

I've never given them my cell number

and I'm pretty sure I could sign up there again for another account

without divulging that info

That can't be your number; that's my number!

I made a new Gmail account 2 days ago and it did not ask for my cell phone number or any other phone number.

I just checked, it's still the same... does not ask for you cellphone number.

Are you sure you were on the right site? http://mail.google.com

It wouldn't make sense to do that because millions of people who use gmail, or who would like to sign up for it, do not have a cell phone.

Sounds like you might have landed on to a scam site impersonating gmail.

Would like to make a screen shot and paste it here but i do not know how, someone willing to educate me on this ?


For xp: print screen, click start, programs, find accessories, open paint, click file-paste, save as. done.

[striped_bear]

Holy crap it does have a phone number verification now! WTF?

Hmmmm for account security issues... I doubt very much it is to the accountholders security benefit...

Coming back from my second attempt...( launched directly from google )
Failed again...
After entering my desired address, password etc...
Here's what gmail requires from me...

paste: Google

Verify your account
You're almost done! We just need to verify your account before we can create it.

Account verification helps with:

* Preventing spam: we try to verify that real people, not robots, are creating accounts.
* Recovering account access: we will use your information to verify your identity if you ever lose access to your account.
* Communication: we will use your information to notify you of important changes to your account (for example, password changes from a new location).

Unless you explicitly tell us to do so, your phone number will never be sold or shared with other companies, and we will not use it for any purpose other than during this verification step and for password recovery and account security issues. In other words, you don't have to worry about getting spam calls or text messages from us, ever.

For more information, please read our frequently asked questions.

Try this. I've read that this has worked for others...

Go to Google.com and click on Sign in at the top right corner.

Then, click on Create An Account Now. Create a new Google account (Not Gmail) with any email (hotmail, yahoo, etc.)

Then, while you are signed in to your new google account, go to Gmail and
sign in to Gmail with the email and password from Step #2.

Create your Gmail account.
