Don't have a phone, but want to make several long-distance calls

[gggg...@gmail.com]

Is there a way of doing that?

Should I buy a phone card and a 7-11 convenience store and then use a pay phone that accepts phone cards?

Any other alternatives?

I haven't seen a pay phone in years. You'll have to buy a TracFone and
activate it and buy a phone card for it. If you don't I don't know how
you'll make those phone calls.

Only other alternative is ask a friend if you can use their phone for all
those calls you need to make.

Get a headset and use Skype.

That would work. You don't need a pay phone that accepts phone cards, any phone or any pay phone should work. The phone calling cards have a toll free or local number you call, enter your card code, then you dial your long distance call. Look around, including online for the best rate cards.

I recommend CallingMart for buying calling cards:

Pro tip: it is not necessary to buy the entire convenience store -
just the phone card should suffice.

:-)

There's also google hangouts and google dialer to make wifi calls with
your android phone using your free google number. You can call normal
phones, not just people with hangouts installed.

Because I don't have a phone, I am having problems creating an email account.

Are there any email providers that don't ask for a phone #?

Why don't you have a phone?

[Beaver...@live.com]

Probably.

Every once in awhile I know someone who sells bulk gmail accounts.

[gggg...@gmail.com]

It's because I'm a frugal consumer.

Although I sometimes feel like a dinosaur.

[ItsJoan NotJoann]

You can be frugal with a cell phone but no need to be a miser. Smart phones
can be bought with 1500 minutes talk and text time for around $100. I'm not a
cell phone user by anyone's imagination but I upgraded to a smart phone last
year and renewed my service contract back at the first of September for $49.95
plus tax and still have over 1500 minutes remaining on my phone.

You're a good salesperson.

[gggg...@gmail.com]

I certainly know who to go to the next time I want to buy a white elephant.

[ItsJoan NotJoann]

No, I just know there are options out there instead of paying a monthly bill
to a provider when a cell phone is rarely used. I did LOTS of research before
ever buying a cell phone many years ago. I had a bit over 300 minutes from
my other cell phone that rolled over into the account of the new smart phone
last year. I turn my cell phone on the average of once a month.

I'm not trying to talk you into anything; I'm letting you know there are options
for cell phones other than a monthly contract with a landline provider such as
AT&T or Verizon. You're the one who has no phone but then want to know how to
set up an e-mail account without a phone.

I guess when you need an ambulance or a fire truck or the police you'll
just lean out the window and scream for one.

People try to help you but evidently we're not giving you the answers you seem
to want. My job is done here; do your own research and solve your problem
by yourself.

[Whoey Louie]

A problem with getting an answer to that is that most people have email
accounts for a long time and won't remember what info was required when
they signed up and it may have changed since then. You might get lucky
and someone who doesn't have a phone can tell you what email they use.
Hard to imagine living without any phone today. If you want low cost
VOIP, Ooma is only ~$5 a month, unlimited calls. it's "free', the $5 is
regulatory fees, taxes, etc. You do have to buy
the VOIP box, which you can find on Ebay used for less than $50, used,
last time I looked.
