There are innumerable services that offer phone numbers and voicemail,
from Google Voice to Skype to Vonage to onSIP to all those firms you
find in the back of business magazines.
We all know that but you don't employ such services until you have the
sales that merit it. Most developers here probably don't especially if
you have niche products. Reminds me of a friend who as a writer decided
to start publishing some tech books so decided he had to have "a line of
books", set up a full business, wrote the books, had them printed and
now has a garage full of them. Any seasoned business person would have
told him to take things a step at a time which is what most businesses do.
Heck, just buy a prepaid mobile phone, set up voicemail access, and
keep the thing powered off.
Then, set yourself a reminder to check the voicemail periodically,
assuming there's no notification option (SMS, email, etc.).
That's what I was thinking of doing. But I think it really is a bug in
their profile code. I don't recall any agreement update saying you MUST
have a support phone number. According to the "why we ask this" it is
for Google to contact me not the customers. I know Google won't be
calling me at 3 AM. :D
