Thing is, they don't let you make email addresses for kids. They ask for a birthday and if it is too young they spit it back.

very good commercial.

You can get a kids email address from yahoo but it costs $0.50 (one time fee).  Or you can just lie about the birthday.

I guess you can say that (at least for now) it's technically his address, not hers.

off-topic: I actually tried making a gmail address for someone and it even made me put a phone number so they could send a code to activate the account, is this a new gmail thing? never had to do this in the past?

ummm it definitely was more than a month. Even 6 months ago this was in place. And what do you mean referring them to platinum cards?

I had to do the phone number the other day. But I seem to recall sometimes not having to do it. It could be it is triggered by making too many.

I have about a dozen email accounts, and I also think that opening multiple gmails makes them ask for a cell number, however, you can use the same cell number over again.

After about 5 or 6, it makes you use a number. After a few months, you can use the same number again.
Also, if you use up the phone number with "texts", you can still use it for calls...
