Now Google now started asking for mobile number for creating mail id’s in order to prevent spam and reduce abusive mails and for more security reasons, After filling the Gmail Registration Form you will be redirected to new page asking your mobile number for activation purpose. After entering your mobile number you will click “Send Activation Code to my mobile phone” option and they will send activation code to your mobile phone.
What if you don’t have a mobile phone ?
If you don’t have an mobile phone you cannot able to signup for Gmail account. Instead you may need to ask your friend,s mobile number to receive a code.
Why they made this Feature ?
According to Google this is done as an initiative that to avoid spam and abuse protection.
Is there any limitation for creating Account for a single Phone number
Yes, Each mobile number have a limitation for creating Gmail Account’s. So create Gmail account only when you needed. But they have yet to say the limitation of creating email accounts on a single number.
Update: We can still create a gmail id without mobile verification if we get an invitation from the existing gmail user, But i am not sure how long gmail will accept the invitation registrations.
