Creating a Google account without handing over your personal mobile number isn’t always easy—but it’s often the smarter move. Whether you’re concerned about privacy or simply want to keep your business and personal life separate, using a second phone number can help. Here’s how you can register a Google account without using your primary phone number—and why a Dingtone number is the perfect fit.
Why You Should Avoid Linking Your Private Number to Google
Your Phone Number Is a Digital Fingerprint
Today, your mobile number is tied to nearly everything—banking, email, social media, and even two-factor authentication. That makes it a prime target for data breaches. If one of your linked accounts gets hacked, your phone number—and all the information tied to it—could be exposed.
Unwanted Marketing and Spam Calls
Ever wondered how telemarketers got your number? It’s often because you shared it while signing up for online services. Even legitimate platforms may sell or leak your data. Linking your personal number to your Google account increases that risk.
How to Create a Google Account Without Your Mobile Number
Follow these simple steps to use a Dingtone number instead:
Step 1: Visit the Google Account Sign-Up Page
Click “Create account” to begin.
Step 2: Enter Your Account Details
Fill in your first name, last name, desired username, and password. Click “Next.”
Step 3: Enter Your Dingtone Number
On the phone number page:
- Select the correct country code
- Type in the phone number you’ve purchased or earned via credits from Dingtone
- Click “Next”
Step 4: Verify the Code
Open the Dingtone app and wait for a text with the verification code from Google. Enter the code on the sign-up page to complete your account registration.
🎉 That’s it—you now have a verified Google account without linking your personal number.
How to Get a Dingtone Number
To get started:
- Download the Dingtone app from the App Store or Google Play

Whether you’re setting up an account for business, travel, or just peace of mind, it’s a simple way to keep your digital life organized and protected.
Don’t trade privacy for convenience. Use Dingtone to keep your number to yourself.
