I don't particularly like Gmail, and try to stay away from Google altogether, but I happen to have opened a throwaway Gmail account just to sign up for a forum, choosing Gmail because it doesn't require a telephone nubmer.

Then when I needed it again down the line, due to a problem with the forum, Gmail wouldn't let me log in without a phone number. What??? It doesn't have one on file for me to begin with, and now it won't let me in?
