Electronic mail accounts that permit registration and usage without mandating the provision of a telephone contact point are increasingly sought. These services allow individuals to communicate digitally without linking their identity to a specific mobile device or landline.
The advantage of these accounts lies in the enhanced privacy they afford. Users can avoid potential data breaches and unsolicited communications linked to their telephone number. Historically, requiring a phone number for account creation was intended to deter spammers and verify user identity. However, concerns about data security and the desire for anonymity have fueled demand for alternatives.
