I once tried registering for Gmail last month and it required SMS verification (USA). I have no way to doing this.
Its apparently a security measure to prevent fraudulent signups.
It seems to randomly appear sometimes when signing up for Gmail. Most of the time it doesn't appear though.
I don't know when verification appears, but my guess is that it has something to do with IPs.

It doesn't appear randomly. It only appears if you already have a GMail account and some bulk registration is going one from similar ip. Can be easily seen on School.
