RE: The death of email?

[bozz]

if you want to open a social media account, you will always be required to put in a mail or phone number.

Great point! It is crazy the number of people who use their phone number for things these days though. That is part of the reason I created a Google Voice number, so I can keep things separate.

You sound as though it's a bad move... Is it?

What does a Google Voice number do?

Google Voice routes my calls and gives me a voicemail only number that I can use when I am required to provide a number. It's not bad, it's just different. Email accounts have pretty robust spam protection. Phone numbers still do not.

Oh. Thanks for explaining

Do we have to pay for the Google voice number?

[bozz]

As long it is for personal use no. It is only available in some areas though, so you might run into restrictions depending on where you live.
