It's 2017. You shouldn't *actually* have to talk on the phone to be able to conduct business.
Bullpoop. Some ISPs and online servers require confirmation by phone to even access the internet consistently.
It's all this "people have only one device, one login, and all mobile OS are proprietary" mentality.
I'm not saying I'm happy that this is so, but it is so, and pretending that not having a phone is an option for business over the networks...
... Myth. Complete myth.
