Create A New Email Account Without A Mobile Number

I only have one cell phone but want a secondary email address.  I sent the invitation to a Gamil account.  I got it, and tried to activate.  It asks for a mobile number, but won't except mine since it was already used.  Is there away around this?

If you're trying to create a secondary comcast.net account you're out of luck.  Comcast stopped issuing email accounts in June 2025.

@Again​ thanks for the reply.  It seemed to go through the steps till I got to entering a mobile number. Oh well, more Comcast/Xfinity [Edited: "Language"] to make everything extra complicated and impossible to get a real answer.

Your best bet is to just create another Gmail email address.

Thanks for taking the time to post on our community forums, SammyS56! To clarify, are you trying to create a new comcast.net email? If so, Again is 100% correct. While you can create and manage secondary user roles for your account, you can no longer create new comcast.net email addresses along with them.
