It’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.
