I just ordered something online, last night, and it had two required fields:

1) Mobile Phone (landline is not required)

2) The phone number/address needs to be the same as for the card.

I don't use a mobile phone for the card. I use my landline, so I entered that.

Yeah for those cases where phone is required I usually put (555)867-5309. They can spam someone else…
