Does Yahoo! REQUIRE new customers to have a cell phone? What about those who don't have one?

I hear several complaints that people cannot sign up for Yahoo! unless they have a cell phone number. Since not all persons have a cell phone I wonder if not having one bars people from signing up for Yahoo!. Can't people just use their land line phone number instead? Thank you.

    Many are doing just that, providing the land line number. I don't know if it works or what happens down the road. You should be able to just add your alternate email address, if you have one.
