I don't have a mobile phone, can I sign up?

If you'd like to sign up for a Gmail address, you need to have a mobile phone that has text-messaging capabilities.
If you don't have a phone, you may want to ask a friend if you can use his or her number to receive a code.

One of the reasons we're offering this new way to sign up for Gmail is to help protect our users and combat abuse. Spam and abuse protection are two things we take very seriously, and our users have been very happy with the small amount of spam they've received in Gmail. We take many measures to ensure that spammers have a difficult time sending their spam messages, getting these messages delivered, or even obtaining a Gmail address (spammers will often use many different addresses to send spam). Sending invitation codes to mobile phones is one way to address this, as the number of addresses created per phone number can be limited.
Will it cost me money to receive the message?

We suggest contacting your mobile phone provider for details on costs associated with text messaging. These costs vary, depending on your wireless plan and provider.
How long will it take to get the message?

Usually, you'll receive a text messages very quickly after it's sent, but sometimes the delivery can be delayed. If you've waited more than 24 hours and don't have the verification message, you can request that the code be resent.

Will Google keep or use my mobile phone number?

Google will use your phone number to send an invitation code in a text message to your phone. In doing so, we store each phone number to make sure it is used to create a limited number of accounts.

Your number will also be associated with your account to avoid unnecessary future verifications for other Google services.  For more information, please review the Gmail Privacy Policy: http://mail.google.com/mail/help/privacy.html. In accordance with this policy, your number will never be sold or shared for marketing purposes without your permission, nor will we contact you using this number without your express permission.
How do I know my phone can receive messages?

Most modern mobile phones support the ability to send and receive a text message. We suggest contacting your mobile phone provider for details on your subscription services.
Why is my country not available?

There are a number of countries and carriers for which we don't provide service because of varying limitations. If possible, you may want to try a friend's phone on another carrier.
