Wait y’all didn’t buy your phone numbers & y’all just rent em?
Discussion
you bought yours?
if a system provides value, people will use it. if the system uses address rental, that's fine.
AFAIK none of the people in my circles think they own the phone number. They're aware that they made a contact to give money for a particular type of service
Yes. Bought thought Verizon 20+ years ago.
Crazy. I know you can buy vanity numbers from some carriers. But don't you like half own the number your given since you can transfer the number to any carrier and it is under your name? Never seen a need to buy a number besides for a buisness vanity number or a nice toll free number.
Yeah you pretty much own your numbers now in the USA n e ways now.
Only thing the company can technically give up your number if they wanted. Other than that the federal government made it where even if your behind on a bill or owe you can still switch your number to another carrier. Id but a number if was needing my brand or business to stay consistent and keep a solid number. But saw vanity numbers go from $20 to $100k lmao
