    Is it for a new adwords account or something? You can outsource verified accounts if you want.

    Hmm, maybe it was the one where they ask you for phone number just in case you forgot your password?

    After about the 5th *G* mail account I created in a weeks time, it told me that in order to prevent abuse of the system and to reduce spam, that I would need to verify by phone before the new email acct could be activated. I don't spam anyone, so I don't know where they get off with that.

    I'm sure you could get around that by clearing your browser cache and changing your ip address, although you would probably need to do that each time you wanted to open a new *G* mail acct, or at least after every two or three created.

    I ditched *G* and went to Yahoo, takes less than 3 mins to create a new yahoo email...

      There are so many benefits to using Google over Yahoo, especially if you're an email power user.

      It's not really that hard to get around this phone issue - I have created multiple Gmail accounts in the past without ever having to receive a phone call from them. If you're trying to mass register them though, then you'd probably need to take the precautions you've listed above.

    I didn't even have the option of phone verification on the last one. They auto mailed it to me. Had to wait about 3 days.

    It is normal and easy procedure, takes few seconds, but I prefer to get sms not call .
