What is phone number verification?

Phone number verification allows you to learn if a phone number you've dialled exists, is connected to a network and can receive calls. When it comes to Gmail and other email providers, phone verification is also important as part of two-factor authentication (2FA). It allows Gmail to send you a code in case you forget your password.

Email is an essential tool in our private and business communication online, but if only it wasn't as transparent as it is and more private, it would be so much better.

Unfortunately, privacy is not something that big email providers like Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, or Yahoo want you to have (we can never have nice things) as they have to keep an eye on your every email activity and then report it back to the government and advertising agencies.

One of the biggest problems here and the reason these big email providers don't offer the level of privacy to their users as they expect is that they don't allow you to create email without phone number.

You can use a fake name, image, date of birth and so on, but you can't create an email account without phone number.

That goes for Gmail:

As well as Yahoo:

Unfortunately, this is mandatory for these email services. If you want to use Gmail or Yahoo, you can't create your email account without phone number verification.

Why You Need a Free Email Account Without Phone Verification?

So, what's our problem with SMS or phone authentication? Well, we believe there are a couple of problems with it:

SMS is based on the SS7 (Signaling System 7) protocol. This has been around since 1975 and was originally intended for tracking and connecting landline calls between different carriers. 

The whole system is based on trust and all the hacker needs is access to the server/gateway on the SS7 network. With it, they can redirect a request to your telecom and their request will be considered legitimate.

Also, if a hacker already has access to your email, they can reset the 2FA system verify using a fake phone number and take full control of the account.

Can You Create Email Without Phone Number Verification?

There are a few workarounds if you want to create email without phone number with Gmail or Yahoo. 

One is to pretend that you're a minor. If you select a date of birth that puts you at or below 15 years of age, Google will assume that you don't have a phone number (even though every kid from 5 and up has a smartphone these days) and therefore won't ask you for one.

However, they will ask your “parent”. So you still need a phone number after all. 

Oh, and there are plenty of laws against pretending that you're a minor. So there's that as well.

Another thing you can try to create email without phone number is to use a virtual or disposable mobile number for SMS verification like Receive SMS. The idea here is to use a dummy phone number and Gmail or Yahoo will send the verification key to that number as if it is yours.

There are a few problems with disposable phone numbers:

  1. It's a “one-time use only” thing. You can't use it multiple times. So if you lose your password and the phone number was your only recovery option, your email account is lost.
  2. It is not guaranteed that it will work in your country (a lot of them work only with US-based phone numbers).
  3. Even if the dummy phone number works and you manage to verify your email account, the provider (and anyone looking) can still see your Internet Protocol (IP) address and trace you using it.
