Except if you need to send something to this address, why would you care what is input?

Even when using it for shipping, what I do is to repeat information. They want a "province"? I have no idea what this is (I am French) so I repeat the name of the city, or I put a region. When the letter/package Congress to France the address won't be correctly formatted anyway so they will do a best match - and it always worked without problems.

Sale for phone numbers. I usually try 0000000000 which often get rejected, and then 010101010101 which usually is accepted (sorry for the prob who uses this number in the Paris region).
