Now u dont need any invitation to register for new gmail account. But u need a handphone though.

NEW UPDATE: Registration is now free without handphone and invitation.

New registration for gmail needs registration code which will be sent to your handphone number. Apparently, gmail prefers this way of registration to protect their current user from spam and abuse. Currently the registration code can only be received by ppl in Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand, Turkey, USA, Australia and Indonesia. (previously only available for US)

One of the reasons we are offering this new way to sign up for Gmail is to help protect our users and combat abuse. Spam and abuse protection are two things we take very seriously, and our users have been very happy with the small amount of spam they’ve received in their Gmail accounts. We take many measures to ensure that spammers have a difficult time sending their spam messages, getting these messages delivered, or even obtaining a Gmail account (spammers will often use many different accounts to send spam). Sending invitation codes to mobile phones via SMS is one way to address this, as the number of accounts per phone number can be limited.

If you want to open an account a different way, you may want to ask a friend with a mobile phone to receive an invitation code for you or to ask someone you know who already has a Gmail account to email you an invitation.
