Meanwhile I have been trying for years to create one without providing a phone number, and it hasn't worked yet. Tried different browsers, operating systems, ISPs, physical locations, even using mobile devices and android emulators. Nothing seems to work, it always demands a mobile number for me.
I'm not sure it works at all any more without a phone number. I have two Gmail addresses I set up over a decade ago to handle notifications from specific services. I recently got an email telling me to log in or the accounts will be deleted. It then wouldn't let me finish my login without adding a phone number. So I can only assume Gmail without a phone number is a thing of the past now.
