      So what exactly is wrong with making the voice mail say “I will never check this. Email me at person@company.tld if you want help”? If the requirement is bullshit, why shouldn’t people comply maliciously? As long as there’s some way to contact the dev (like through email), who gives a rats ass if the phone number doesn’t work? I don’t need to call Lawrence Dawson cause Sync is having issues. I can post on the sub or probably find an email somewhere. It’s not gonna be instant like a phone call, but it doesn’t need to be.

        Because it’s lying to your customer to have a phone number you don’t use listed. Listing a number is an advertisement that you offer phone support.

          I legit can’t tell if this person is a really good troll or if they’re talking in circles and haven’t figured that out yet.

      Okay, I missed read and I apologize. However, you’re just trolling. You disagree the phone requirement. Yet when others propose alternative solutions that direct uses to an equally direct communication method, you oppose that too without providing any alternatives.

        The alternative is to not list a phone number and to abandon Google until they remove the requirement.

        Listing a phone number you won’t answer is lying to your customers.
