Don't you guys have phones?

Not everyone does.

For example, I used to live in a part of the UK with no mobile towers, and thus no reception.

So if I really, absolutely had to make a phone call at some point I could then travel to a different town + buy a new sim card / phone number to make the call with.

Meanwhile Vodafone (UK) expires mobile phone numbers after 3 months of inactivity. So, that "new" phone number would tend to be expired when I next needed to use it.

This happened several times. :/

Yeah, you guys all have phone right?
