   I am very experienced in avoiding giving Google any phone number   
   or ancillary email.   
      
   It has been getting harder than ever in the past year.   
      
   I use VPN and Google really hates when you come in from multiple   
   IP addresses. I also change my user agent string a lot (it's   
   random, to avoid fingerprinting).   
      
   So, at this point, in the last few months, it has been almost impossible   
   to start a Gmail account without giving them a phone number. Sigh.
