Having multiple email addresses may be necessary for various reasons: separating work emails from personal ones, or registering on different websites and services. However, most popular email providers require a phone number during registration, which can make creating multiple accounts more difficult.

Why isn’t it always possible to create an email address without a phone number?

Popular email services (and others as well) require a mobile phone number to create an account. This is due to the following points:

• It simplifies account recovery by entering a code received via SMS.
• It allows you to receive various notifications, offers, promotions, and advertisements.
• It ensures quick access to the account on any device.

How to register any email without a phone number?

Protecting the anonymity and confidentiality of an account means entering minimal personal information or, ideally, none at all. For example, to use all the services of popular email systems like Google or Yandex, you need to register with a phone number.

However, it is not necessary to use your personal phone number. There are services that, for a small fee, provide virtual numbers for registration on various platforms, including email clients.

Let’s take a closer look at how to create an email without a phone number using Gmail as an example:

1. Register on the “SMSBower” website.
   
2. Top up your balance. Choose the payment method and amount.
   
3. Choose the service for registration. In our case, it’s “Gmail.”
   

4. Next, select the country of the mobile operator. Click “+” next to the desired country.

5. The number is immediately ready for registration and appears in the “Activation History” tab. Copy it for further use.
   
6. During Gmail registration, enter this number in the provided field.
   
7. Return to the SMSBower website and copy the verification code received.
   

8. Paste it and finish your Gmail registration.

We used the popular Gmail service from Google as an example. In the same way, you can create an email address without a phone number in any other client. Simply find it in the list of services available for registration on the SMSBower website.

Conclusion

There are quite a few ways to register an email without using a phone number. One option is to use email services that do not require SMS verification at registration; however, these services often have limited functionality. The best approach is to register with a popular email service using a temporary phone number. In addition to full mailbox functionality, you also gain access to other services offered by corporations like Google or Yandex.
