Maybe this is an old millennial problem, but I’ve had the same cell phone number for over 20 years. The number would actively link me to whatever. But that doesn’t really bother me too much.
What does bother me is that I get enough spam calls as it is. If you don’t carefully read the ToS/EULA/privacy policy when giving them your number for “verification”, you may be giving them permission for marketing calls or to have your number shared with their affiliates.
Is this picture…what? AI generated? Not that I’m aware of. I just searched for a stock photo of an old lady knitting and this was one of the results. Just grabbed it and added the text.
