This is true, they disabled my accounts and now they keep asking for Mobile Phone Number when we should be able to talk with them without using a mobile phone. Gmail and Google sucks!

Everyone knows Google is working on services and products for Mobile. Their excuse about using mobile Phone number to combat spams is so fake!
I have lost dozen of accounts just because I registered my email accounts without informing a Mobile Phone Number (that time it wasn’t asking for it). Now ALL my accounts are disabled because “I have violated the TOS”. WTF? I’m not going to use my Mobile Phone number on any free FCKING email services!
Reenable all the accounts you have disabled for this reason since January 2008 year because you’re violating my rights!
Google is the most hypocrit capitalist company of the World. First they made it’s users very happy, offering free good services and now they wanna us paying for “their” mobile phones just to use email. It’s happening in Brazil country. Please Brazil’s government, put an end on this chantage!

like this Gmail will loose many new visitors and i think many will prefer to jump to Yahoo mail accounts.

and one benefit will be that spammers will b away from it

Yeah Even 2 days ago i mad an account but they didnt ask me for mobile verification,
and i dont think It Could Be a good Idea,i have got my mob six months ago and i think still there will be alot of people who dont have a mobile now,
I think This Idea may not go far enough,

Nice security move, but doesn’t it smell a little bit oppresive? One should have an opportunity to create two or even more accounts (not everyone use multiple accounts to send spam).

I have created a new gmail email ID today and at no stage they asked for any mobile number.

Are you sure they are asking for mobile number?
