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.
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.
That's methed up. Screw the GOP Us government. Bunch of nazi's.
This is a good time to consider Calyx Institute private SIM cards
