get rid of the cell phone requirement
So I just signed into your service and I know it may be unbelievable but I don't have a cell phone number. I don't see the point of the requirement I could go buy a sim card for $2 - $5 but I honestly just dislike cell phones. I had to enter my wife's number in order to activate my account. I have accounts with both linode and digital ocean and didn't have an issue setting up the account without a cell phone but for some reason it's a problem for you guys. Really dumb. You should remove any impediment to a client giving you money.

Thanks for the feedback! We also have a manual verification process through which we enable accounts without cell phone numbers. However we have activated your account and you may have received an email already with the details. One of our account manager is personally contacting you shortly.
Thanks,

Requiring a cell phone number during sign-up is often used as a security and verification step to prevent fraud, bots, and multiple fake accounts, but it can definitely feel restrictive for users who prefer not to use mobile devices. Many modern services are now exploring more flexible verification methods such as email-based authentication or hardware security keys to improve accessibility without compromising security. For example, telecom-focused platforms like https://tmsim.ph/best-tm-promos/ still rely on mobile-based services within Globe Telecom ecosystem, but they also demonstrate how services can be structured around user convenience and accessibility. Ideally, companies should balance security requirements with user freedom by offering alternative verification options so legitimate customers can sign up without unnecessary barriers.

Getting rid of the cell phone requirement can simplify processes, but when it comes to outdoor structures, thoughtful planning is key. Choosing the right Car Parking Shade design (https://umbrellaparkingshades.com/
) ensures vehicles are fully protected while keeping the structure aesthetically pleasing and durable. -

I understand your frustration, but the cell phone requirement is part of the SIM Registration Act that mandates all SIM cards to be registered for security and regulatory compliance. This helps prevent fraud and ensures your service is protected. Unfortunately, it is a necessary step for all Globe users to comply with the law.
We know it's an extra step, but your account will be more secure, and you'll be able to enjoy uninterrupted service once your registration is completed.
