Creating a YouTube account

without providing a phone number to Google

As of April 2025, you can likely create a YouTube account using your non-Gmail email without a phone number by skipping the phone verification step during Google account signup, especially on a trusted device. Recent sources (January–March 2025) and Google’s help pages confirm this is still possible, though success depends on avoiding triggers like multiple account creation or suspicious IPs. If phone verification is required, a paid virtual number (e.g., SMS-Man, KrispCall) is the most reliable privacy-focused workaround. Always set a recovery email to secure your account..
