Be warned: You need to enter a valid phone number. They will call you asking on what you plan on building with the software. I've had that happen to me within a few days of downloading the software.

Another person had the same experience. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24582890

I hang up on people all the time. I don't want to spend minutes of my life answering probing questions. Just hang up as they speak.

Could you accidentally mistype the phone number or do you need it for something?

[KindOne]

I don't know.

Why would you ever put in your real phone number anyway?

[KindOne]

Some websites I have signed up require a real phone number so they send a verification code on account creation.

I use Google Voice for that. I don’t have it tied to my phone, so the only thing they can do is send me text messages that I only see when I’m expecting something.

A lot of website now bans GV numbers unfortunately (or any VoIP numbers)

[innocentoldguy]

I never answer numbers I don’t recognize, but it is still annoying to get these types of calls, again and again, and again.
