From Google support when they urged me to get a mobile phone.
Adding a phone number to your account
Why Google asks you to add a mobile phone number to your account
Having a mobile phone number on your account is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to help keep your account safe and ensure that you can get back into your account if your account is hijacked or you forget your password. Your mobile phone is a more secure identification method than your recovery email address or a security question because, unlike the other two, you have physical possession of your mobile phone.
Hackers target accounts without phones because they're easier targets. Add a phone and join hundreds of millions of other Google users who have helped stop hackers in their tracks.
Ways we will use your mobile phone number
We'll only use your mobile phone number to ensure the security of your account. Here are some ways we'll use it:
- To challenge people when they try to hijack your account
- To send you a verification code so you can get into your account if you ever lose access
- To provide an alternate way for you to verify that you own an account
- To help prevent people from getting into your account by guessing the answer to your security question
- Optional: To alert you to possible threats to your account's security (for example, when your password is changed)
Ways we won't use your mobile phone number
Unless you make a specific request, we won’t use your mobile phone number for anything other than protecting your account. For example, unless you tell us to, we’ll never:
- Sell your phone number to other companies or organizations
- Call you for marketing purposes
- Publish your phone number online
Why I don't have a mobile phone
OK, Google. You say "you have physical possession of your mobile phone" ... oh yeah? What kind of misguided logic is that? Do you not know how many mobile phones are lost or stolen every day? I think you have other reasons for wanting me to buy a mobile phone. And what is a hacker? Wasn't Google built by "hackers" in the first place?
Here are my reasons not to have a mobile phone:
- They cost too much
- I have no reliable income
- I can live without one
- They can cause tumors
- They require too much attention
- Their use can cause accidents
- They are easily lost, stolen or damaged
If some did steal my phone, it would have enough info in it needed to hijack much more than my Google account. Even if I could afford a mobile phone, could I trust you with my number? WTF, Google. I've always loved you and believed that you mean no harm.

I happen to know that this person was and is an important part of the Community in Memphis, Tennessee.

Now the context cause and effect relationship expands to the need to liberate my friend Frances from a Who's Who scam perpetrated by Strathmore-ltd.com which is the second listing here. Sheesh!
I know that the street she lived on was renamed for her as the obituary states. Plus I have friends in Memphis that can see the sign. So the case against Ms Crain is thinning out. As for notability, check out Caritas Village...
