does anybody know how to get past this and create a gmail account?? WHY WONT THEY LET YOU CREATE ACCOUNTS I ONLY HAVE LIKE 3 GMAIL ACCOUNTS USING MY NUMBER WHY DID YOU SPAMMERS HAVE TO MESS THINGS UP NOW NOBODY CAN MAKE GMAIL ACCOUNTS WITHOUT VERIFYING THEIR #
its obviously not your fault but it clearly states that the phone number has a maximum usage on email registration... maybe its better to contact Google itself about this issue...
I guess there is nothing wrong..Google did it to stop spamming.. for one # only 3 accounts are allowed..by the way why you need more than 3 account?
recently i created 2-3 ids without such confirmation u use directory , socaial bookmark etc submissions in your personal mails ?
I don't even remember how many gmail accounts I have. I thought I had that many, but only 1 of them I use regularly. Maybe I have exactly 3 or I have more before they came up with this. I don't recall seeing anything about only 3 per number. I'll have to check my google accounts and see.
Umm, I didnot face any problem while making of gmail account. Which Country you are in ? may be google requires your country's numbers approval
Maybe you just need to change the number to another one, if you can use other number. But I dont used to have this problem when I registered all my gmail account.
Why don't you use emails on some of your domain?! For example, domain1@emaildomain.com, domain2@emaildomain.com? Don't you want to be spammed? But why do you think Google want this? I think 3 emails on gmail is more then enough for person, don't you?
you do realize that you can use the + sign and then add anything to your username before the @gmail.com and it will still work. e.g. if your gmail is , when you sign up for say Yahoo.com you can use and it will all go to the same email, then you can just filter it to go to a different folder...
you also do realize that if you have a domain name you can have up to 50 users per domain by signing up for Google Apps Standard and setting your mail servers to point to Google. All I am saying is that before you start getting wrapped up in anger - check and see if there are available solutions out there.
Wow !! That's new info for me. Will try that out. This is a very handy way to stop spam.. Edit: Works. Reps added for the cool tip.
Gmail rocks IMHO I have many domains, all forwarding to my gmail address. I have then setup a separate "Send Mail as" for each domain so that any return email appear to have come from the right domain. In Gmail, click on "Settings" and then "Accounts and Import". More here about setting up a custom From address. If that fails, take a chill-pill and turn-off your caps lock. Jon
yes but i need a different name for each email if my domain name was digitalpoint.com then i would register what if i registered ebay.com? i would need its alot more organizing having all emails of each domain fowarded to different accounts and when i reply it wouldnt be from a random email
What do you expect? Google Mail is a free service, it's just like going to the shops and seeing a product for free when you buy a product, are they going to throw it in if you by say 10 of them? Nopes. If you dont like free, and your not happy with being able to have 3 gmail account (why the hell you need 3 gmails is beyond me) and all the "I need it for seperate domains is a load of rubbish). If you have hosting and webmail on your hosting use it! or you could just look for other paid solutions.
that is such a waste... but again did you read my email about having your own domain name? you can have 50 gmail accounts @yourdomain.com - just sign up for Google Apps... noobs these days... complain less and research more!
i dont want to use my own domains for emails i forward those to my gmails i use gmail because its the easiest to use and i can get updates from my cell phone
honestly i have more then 100 accounts on gmail i only face to verify phone number when i create profile on orkut or other google services and if they restrict than let me tell you i can buy 4 new sim cards in just $1 so this is useless for google i dont know why most companies do such kinda things for example some allow one account from one IP address so what on every restart of my router it assigns me a new IP address some VOIP companies make restrictions but can break easily for example if Google allow me to create 10 accounts with one phone number i ll buy another as i mentioned above 4 sim cards in 1USD and having balance in it so you can say totally free sorry to say all but i just think why most companies restrict these restrictions fact nothing only to force some people to hire other to do things for example on craigslist an static IP user can not make classified ads more than one city so what ll s/he do hire a data entry opp having random access so..........? they made a restriction useless if Google restrict account on one phone needy ll hire Indians and Pakistanis to create accounts where a sim card can bought very cheap any way let me create new one oops for me Google do not want to verify a number
