    Yes it is a huge problem ,  but is straight away solved by recognizing,  if you could not use a phone, (so for a moment place yourself there )  , that the requirement you are seeing, is not to stop , your right to provision of those goods and services different to those who can use a phone.  The sale of the goods is not to hinge on demanding you are assumed able to use a phone, if you cannot.

    But it is not standard, and should not be expected to be pretty standard by anyone , to be stopped from completing a purchase, if , in the circumstance , one cannot use a phone, or does not have a phone number.

    Well thankfully no , there is no requirement to have , or use a phone, in any aspect of law. However what is in law, is the Human Rights Act that makes it discriminatory with the provision of Goods and Services at 44 (1) (b)  to treat any other person less favourably in connection with the provision of those goods, facilities, or services than would otherwise be the case,— by reason of any of the prohibited grounds of discrimination.

    I would not be so forward, with friends or neighbors. Also not for me to use any false detail.  Which gets back to resolving for everyone, by making the phone field optional , and never mandatory,  to complete a sale.

    Thanks Michelle, that's a good work around, but the phone number it requires, needs to be a valid number  not made up. I have tried, "no phone"  but without success.

    No he does not have to " must have " at all. Yes 15 years ago I signed up with one  , but I no longer can use a phone.

    Gosh what a funny reply like lecturing, on how to discriminate.  Obviously  identification and fields that are mandatory requiring phone numbers needs to change to accommodate those with a disability or of age, that they cannot use phones. Being constructive, what do you suggest ?  

  • mj15003 commented,

    Pacifying as you suggest, with false information , is not at all proper.  The answer is to make the field optional  and not mandatory, for the reasons already stated.

    And here is example of the mandatory phone number field.
