Create a google account without a phone number

One user reported "I've found another solution after going back to sign up for an account by going to: YouTube sign in > Sign up > Enter information with create new Gmail, and now the phone number verification is optional. I'm not sure why it would ask it when creating a new account elsewhere, but I'm glad I was able to create a new Google account this time. "  May or may not work for you.

 

Another user reported  "If you have Apple Mail or Outlook, just ask to add a Gmail account through them.  I was able to add a Gmail account via Apple Mail using my mobile number."  Again, may or may not work.

"This phone number cannot be used for verification" explains why a number is needed to verify your account via sms or a voice call. 

 

If Google require a number, and you cannot provide one, or you cannot open an account using the methods described above, then Google will not let you open the account.
