Hello all, recently wanted to signup for temporary permanent legit emailmid in gmail. It was asking me Phone number in process, i tried to use multiple numbers from regular online resources ( more than 30) but nothing worked. I don’t want to give my personal phone number in real life to someone’s unless Its I want to.
How do I sign up services where phone number is required ? Is there throw away phone number I can get ? Is there way to skip it all together ( not on Gmail for sure ) Your help be appreciated.

Heard that you can create google accounts without phone numbers with an old android 5 phone. But have not verified it
It is possible to create Google accounts without phone number on Android. I can confirm.
I tried on an Android VM in a browser, but stopped at the phone number requirement. So does it need to be in a Google app specifically?
It needs to be a real android not a VM or emulator. Google will detect the device through play services. you can easily create 4-5 accounts without the numbers.
Ive been able to create two on grapheneOS when opening up play store in separate profiles and clicking create account on the log in screen
Any idea on android version restrictions?
