Here's what I found while looking around for alternative ways to sign up for Zoho:

"I do not have a cell phone. I do have a landline. Is there an alternate method to sign up. When I originally signed up for Gmail, I did not have a cell phone.
Try GMX"

So even if I wanted to do gmail, I'd still have to have a $#@! cell phone.
