I would like to get a Yahoo account, however because I don't have a cell phone, I cannot complete the registration process, is there a way?
It seems Yahoo does not allow one to register without a mobile phone number, and when I give my land line, it does not recognize it a a valid number which is confounding to me. Can anyone assist me?

Hi Joseph,
Yahoo, and many other vendors now require existing users to add a mobile phone, as well as new registrants to help protect your account. Adding a mobile number to your account is an important account security step (https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN14992.html?impressions=true)
- Greatly reduces the risk of an abuser accessing your account.
- If you need to recover your password, this is the safest and most effective method to recover it.
- Yahoo will alert you through your mobile device when we suspect unusual login activity on your Yahoo account.
Yahoo does not rent, sell, or share your personal information with other people or non affiliated companies, except to offer products or services you’ve requested. See our Privacy Policy for more detailed info on how we keep your information private.
