This was the email exchange with Flickr Customer Service.
-----------------------I work for a web design company. We always set up a Flickr account for clients. We have done this for many years, so we have many clients that have a Flickr account. We have always logged in with a Gmail account.
Now we are required to set up a yahoo account for each client to go in and edit the Flickr account. This wouldn't be a problem if setting up a Yahoo account didn't require a cell phone #. We are not going to ask every client for their personal cell phone # so we can access Flickr.
With this said.
Is there still a way to access A flickr account without creating a yahoo email account?
or
Is there a way to set a up a new Yahoo email account for each client without a cell phone #?Thanks for your help. This is a very frustrating Issue.

Hello,
Thank you for being a Yahoo user since 1998. We appreciate you choosing to use Yahoo and truly hope you continue to use Flickr, as you have been.
Unfortunately, a Yahoo account is now required to create a Flickr account and a mobile number is required to create a Yahoo account. I believe that the following Yahoo Flickr Help articles should be helpful in answering your question. Please use the links below to review the articles.
Why do I need to use a Yahoo account to sign in to Flickr?
Sign up for a Yahoo account
I hope the information I have provided to you above will help answer your question, Kristopher. Please let me know if you still need assistance.Regards,
Aaron

--------------------------------...Ok My company and myself are both done with Yahoo and Flickr. I hate to see such a great tool like Flickr go to shit once Yahoo takes over. Enjoy your downfall.
