Can we register the developer account without mobile number ?

Why can't we register the developer account based on email only ? We do not have company allotted mobile numbers ( which is not at all required these days as we are always connected with colleagues via other communication channels ) We can't even use personal mobile number as it is linked to the personal amazon account.
Is there way we can register without providing mobile number ?

login with amazon

Hello,

You should be able to click "Not Now" when prompted during account registration to enable multi-factor authentication with a mobile number.

You will need to register a number to register payment information, but this number does not need to be unique.

For more information, please see our guide to Two-Step Verification.

And if you continue to have trouble, feel free to use the Contact Us form so our support team can help you.

Thanks,

Mike

I am having the same issue as OP and do not see an option to proceed without entering a mobile number, which is already tied to my personal account.

Hi,

If you are registering a mobile number for your payment info, you should be able to re-use the same number associated with your other account.

If you are still having trouble, please use the Contact Us form to send the following info:

• The steps to reproduce the issue
• The exact text of the error message received (if any)
• The URL of the page where you encountered the error

Thanks,

Mike

I have the same problem. I am trying to create a brand new account (way before doing anything with payments), and I am being asked for a cell number as well, and see the same screen as the other person posted.

I think that it used to be a way to click 'Not Now' before, or at least it is there, when you have an old account, and Amazon is asking to add a cell number to that old account. However, looks like that option was removed when creating a new account.

Mike, you have someone who works on that page to take a look at it. As that other person explained, sometimes we (devs) need to have multiple accounts and/or don't have a cell number to share. With forcing a user to share a phone number, it looks like Amazon is collecting those with only one purpose, to sell it to other companies.

Thanks, Jacek
