This drives me up the wall. I have tried to conduct business with companies many times, but they require that I have a mobile phone - Looking at you, Stripe, as well as other companies doing the same that I've had problems with. I do not own a mobile phone, because the f-ck if I am going to give some company my location for my entire life. Thanks, but no. It's just how I roll. I also never been on social media from the start for the same reasons. People called me paranoid back 15 years ago, but now I just laugh when I see people losing jobs and careers from a careless post 20 years ago. Nope, not me, no to social media or mobile phones or any other tracking devices. And no, I will never buy a car with tracking on it. I'll continue to buy older cars before I do that. So, I have a VIOP, but these companies do not allow using my VOIP. Or a burner phone either. So now I might have to break down and get one because so many companies are starting to require it, so I might get a Mint Mobile phone as it is $15/month. I'll get mobile phone with a removable battery and when not using it I'll remove the battery and sell as store it in a Faraday bag, in case removing the battery doesn't work, and then on top of all that I will leave the phone in my office and never bring it anywhere or use it ever except for those rare circumstances when I need to verify I'm me. Try tracking me now, bitches. But it pisses me off that I will have to spend $250 for a phone and a year's worth of air time for nothing. Fluck you, Stripe, and other companies requiring a mobile phone.
