I don’t understand what’s stopping you from creating as many free Google accounts as you please. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/27441
They ask for Phone number while creating and there is no way around it. Which is a problem because i have only 1 phone number
I don't think you get asked a phone number if you make it on your smartphone.
They also limit the number of accounts to a phone number. I hit it and now can’t create more with that number.
