 First of all:  it's a trial service, free only for three months. Not really free. 
Also it requires phone verification.

 No, basic mailbox is free forever. The phone number you can get by buying a prepaid simcard for cash or esim for btc lightning.

 That's not what their website says. 3 months it says. Maybe you got a deal before they started doing that. Not free anymore.

 I just created a new mailbox for myself. No word about any trial periods, like good old times. Just create an account. No mail+, no ad skipping, no extras.
I hope they do not differentiate by IP location. But if they do, just go via Lithuanian VPN.

 Might be, don't know. 
That's a nice workaround, however a violation of their terms of service.

 :) I doubt they ever read their own terms that they either copied from somewhere or some onetime hired lawyer wrote.
It should be hard to be a revolutionist with an attitude like that. Then you should never be speeding, paying all the taxes including bitcoin capital gains, and so on. 
I don't even know the law nor many rules. I just assume I am breaking them with everything I do or don't. It makes life simpler and leaves many braincells at rest. Also helps to avoid trusting and be dependent on anyone.
