Or even which someone linked below (to refute my claims)

They also have the "remove anytime thing" but they warn you and give you 30 days to move your domains. So if they decide to close my account, they dont take my domains.

There may be a difference in contractual terms, but without much of a difference in substance.

The whole telephony system relies on people keeping the same phone number.

Individuals and families rely on it as a most basic necessity. Businesses invest vast sums of money promoting awareness of their phone number.

If telco providers went around taking people's phone numbers away without very good reason, there'd be uproar, and the telco system (and indeed, to some degree, the economy), would cease to work.

I think i said this multiple times in this thread (and probably even in the article, not sure) but i am fully aware how unlikely this is. I just used it as additional argument that now many used to pick on.

I never heard of anyone got his number taken when they paid the fee. I highly assume most companies never done that actually.

Edit:// Its not actually the point tho, it is just a (obviously not that well) argument for my point
