How hard is it to implement email verification?
My Android devices have never been logged into Google, and the tablet I'm posting from has no SIM card, so it has no phone number.
They have no record of a phone number for me, because I've never signed into Google on any active Android device.
Edit: I also have Google Play and Services, and most other Google apps disabled. FOSS for the win! They really don't have any phone number for me.
