It's for your own security Citizen, why not give us your number, unless you have something to hide?
One day it won't be skippable.

I left google behind a long time ago. I have a variety of email addresses, most of which are "disposable". Have you tried just making up a fake number, preferably from a different state or country?

The past two days everytime I log into my gmail account, Google gets alot, not a little, but, ALOT nosy and asks me for my phone number. Then today it said it wants my cell phone number for security reasons and it noted that security changes are ahead and things are about to be changing. The last time it asked me for my phone number and said, "You just never know", as if I will forget my password and "NEED" them to call me.
I'm sorry but, if I loose my password and Google refuses to help me with that problem because I didn't give them my phone number then to hell with Google. If it gets to the point where I am that dependent then I will walk away from it all and that includes computers.
I could understand if I was using my work computer and they required this information but, my home is not your business.
P.S. What else is down the road with Google? What else are they planning, anyone know?
