Email Accounts not needing Mobile Phone Numbers

Many email providers now seem to be demanding a mobile phone number as a security measure when signing up, particularly when they recognise a previously used IP address. Are there any solutions to this?

When this was posted on a discussion list, Andy Brisley came up with an answer: both www.mail.com and www.gmx.co.uk allow you to set up free email accounts without requiring mobile phone addresses.
