Many services and businesses will not do business with you if you do not have a phone number. The most common example would be delivery services, but there are many others.

Have people been able to get around these limitations? and how is it done? I hate having a phone as much as anyone else.

Just put in random crap. 555-555-5555 works almost everywhere. They don't want to call you anyway, that costs way more than an email.

Thank you, it had not occurred to me to just make one up. Some services will verify with text message, but many do not.
