This one sucks (for twitter at least) because I don't give out my number because I'm deaf. Seriously, I won't even give the hospital my number, just my email.

Why? Because every appointment they'd ring me, even though if they pull up my details it said "Do not ring, deaf, please text or email" - eventually I just changed my number. So much "private calls" I was just not going to pick up (even if I can hear, I feel it's better to completely understand what the other person is saying.)

On Twitter tho, when you make different handles for say businesses or what have you, you run into the same issue. Maybe I was doing it wrong, but I thought it seemed pretty weird that _every_ account needed a unique phone number attached. The non-profits I'd help out with on social media don't have a contact phone number...

Seems like a great way of making people just give up rather than bothering to jump through hoops.
