It isn&#8217;t always mandatory; it largely depends on your region, IP reputation, device signals, and abuse checks. In low-risk signups, you&#8217;ll often see recovery email or app-based approvals so that you can proceed without a SIM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>In plain terms:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Spam prevention &amp; abuse control:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> phone checks slow down mass signups.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Recovery safety:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Having a recovery email address helps unlock your account later.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Geo\/regulatory factors:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> prompts differ by country and risk signals.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Behavioral triggers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> repeated attempts from the same IP, VPN\/Tor use, or unusual patterns can trigger a phone gate.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign up on a fresh browser profile, a stable IP, and add a recovery email early, you&#8217;re more likely to avoid the prompt for a phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Really_Verify_Zoho_Mail_Without_Phone_Number\"><\/span><b>Can You Really Verify Zoho Mail Without Phone Number?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short answer: yes, in many cases.
