This is funny and stuff ... but I would love to be able to get a bank account, get a state DL, or a credit card without having having having to have a phone number. It is absolutely required to do anything in this country you must pay verizon/att/whomever monopoly wherever and keep a phone that I hardly ever use.

I use less than 10 minutes a month on my phone, and it has been that way for years.

Give me a way out of owning a phone but allow me access to the rest of civilization and I will begin to believe in technology again.
