To get Gmail I need phone nr. If I put phone nr,it's connected Gmail with phone nr. I don't want G know anything about me.
I'm not sure what phone NR is.
If you get Gmail, you can install Thunderbird on your phone, and connect to it like that. All Google would know is that you're connecting to that email from that IP. And if you're concerned about that, maybe get a VPN.
