I'm in Canada. Amazingly, a lot of these sites that require a phone number don't actually require one. If it's a person grabbing my details, I tell them i don't have a phone, and they usually figure out what to do. If it's a computer that won't accept "no" for an answer, I pick 1234567 as my number after the area code.
This has not really impacted my life in any significant way.
- cabbeer 13y agoSame, except I have a (dump) phone to keep in contact with my parents who live in another city. Also Canadian!
- jxf 13y agoInteresting! I have a burner number that i use for sites I don't really trust (usually because they insist on texting to confirm it's real). I wonder if Canadian banks are more accommodating in this regard, because having a phone number seems pretty important for a lot of US institutions (utilities, finance, etc.).
