How are they going to do that if my provider doesn't know my name?
By forcing your provider to get one (with a government issued ID), or stop operations in the country.
That's methed up. Screw the GOP Us government. Bunch of nazi's.
Which phone number? I have two that personally own, but since I pay for all the phones in the house they all my numbers. Basically giving me 5 phone numbers.
my cell phone is an extra line on someone else's plan to save money. landline at the office is in the owner's (and business) name. i got rid of 'my' phone back around 2009 or 10.
What my wife and my sons phones are. Just extra lines on my policy.
Then I won’t have a phone number
