I was going to create another Gmail account today for an irrelevant reason.

I fill out the long page of information that you usually fill out to create your account. Name, username, password, secondary email, security question, captcha, and the rest of the nonsense. I click the "Create my account" button, and I'm greeted by this horrendous message.



I have a working cell phone with a plan, but it isn't charged. I lost my charger a week ago, during a moving process. This is rather inconvenient.

If you don't have a cell phone, they suggest you use a friend's. There are flaws in this.

- A cell phone can only be used once to register an account. The person who let you use their phone will never be able to create a Gmail account.

- If you don't have a cell phone, you probably don't have friends.

- If you don't have friends, you can't use their cell phone.

- If you don't have a cell phone, you can't sign up for Gmail.

This is obviously bullshit. Roph can't sign up for Gmail because he doesn't have a cell phone plan. I'm sure Google's Gmail account creation is going to drop. Even if you do have a charged, working cell phone with a plan, it's just another annoying step. You can easily just sign up for another email service.

I hope Google dies.

It's not about me not knowing where the charger is. I already signed up another account elsewhere. It's about this being a dumb things for Google to do.

Roph doesn't have a cell phone plan. Not everyone needs a cell phone. Some can't afford it.

Yeah, I'm kissing Roph's ass by using him as an example of someone who doesn't have a cell phone plan. I develop a strong love for people when they do that for me. ;v

I don't have a mobile plan? I've always had one. There's a difference between not having one and not using one.

And it should stay, it stops spammers registering alot of accounts  :)

Because I don't have to pay anything if I don't use it. It's not a fucked up system like it is in the US (paying to RECEIVE texts and calls in some cases? LOL)

Honestly, though, you probably should have gotten a gmail account 5 years ago when they started the service up, like I did.
What took you so damn long?
