I don't know what your service is but I simply wouldn't be able to use it as my only phone number is Google Voice.
It's highly likely that prospective users just leave when encountering your restrictions and having their phone numbers rejected.
- DaiPlusPlus 7y agoIt’s a B2B service (“B2SB”?) - not targeting people/consumers - so it’s reasonable to assume they have a real phone number.
- erik_seaberg 7y agoWhich mobile carriers do you support, if not Google Fi (which is mine)? Or only landlines (which barely exist at my day job)?
- theelous3 7y agoMy last position was for a b2b voip telephony replacement type of deal. It would be trivial to load up on real geographic numbers from anywhere in the world and automate it all for bots.
- JumpCrisscross 7y ago> it’s reasonable to assume they have a real phone number Just an anecdote, but I rarely give out my non-Google Voice number on sign-up forms. I don’t want my mobile in a database to be spammed. If a phone number is required on sign-up, and my Google Voice doesn’t work, I usually pass. Whether for personal or commercial use.
- driverdan 7y agoIt's not reasonable. Voice is the only phone number I use and I use B2B services. If you prevented me from signing up I'd go to a competitor.
- AlchemistCamp 7y agoI run a business. Why is it reasonable to assume the use of legacy phone numbers?
- DaiPlusPlus 7y agoWe target a particular subset of retail-customer businesses which all generally have a phone-number.
