Why do I need different phone numbers for each of my email accounts?

I need different email accounts for personal, business, etc., but I can't create an email account with the same phone number as another account. This makes no sense and I want to turned off.

The reason is for security.  If one account is compromised, they could all be on the block if they have the same contact information.  A lot of other email providers are now doing the same thing. You can, however, opt to use another email address instead of a phone number.  The email address would have to be from a non-Comcast email provider.
