Gmail Registration Now Requires Cell Phone

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.

Find the charger?

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.

If you don't have a cell phone these days, you deserve to not have email.

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

Not everyone needs a cell phone.

Cell phones are stupid and Anski is stupid for thinking you have to have one.

Halo come back ._.

if ( $author == 'irock')
{
   echo 'kiss roph's ass';
}

shouldn't those be double quotes?
as in

Code: [Select]

if ($author == "irock") { echo "Kiss Roph's Ass"; }


NO >:|
it was supposed to be roph\'s

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 

I don't understand why you'd pay for something you don't use. q_q

Just use guerrillamail if you're in need for a quick verification/e-mail for w/e >_> Quoted for agreement.

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)

Probably because the costs are cut in half?

This new registration system really annoys me since I don't have a mobile phone

and I don't plan on ever getting one.

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?

edit: Oh. Another one. Why are you making another one? For your alternate ego on youtube? lol

People will be given a Google ID when they're born.
