Phone number to subscribe?

Hello.🙂
I was in the process of filling out the subscription page and I saw that I had to put my phone number in to subscribe. What's up with that? I want to subscribe, but I most certainly do NOT want to throw my phone number out there. I already get enough stupid sales calls from machines, goofballs calling to see if I would be interested in taking a survey, or asking about my views on this or that question. I would like to subscribe. I'm a contributor at every site that I frequent, and feel like everyone should shoot the lock off of their purse/wallet and help the site owners keep the lights on, but there's no way that I'm giving out my phone number. Is there any way around this? Thanks bunches.🙂

Put a bum fone number in - or Phlabibit's. 😀

I guess I need to get out there among the people a little more often. It never even crossed my mind to lie about the phone number.

Success! 🙂 I am now a subscriber with possibly a new user name. I think I messed up and typed my name in the wrong place. Oh, well.🙂

Apparantly, I'm ok on the user name thing. Cool.🙂

Welcome aboard, dink.

I sign in with my email address, so I don't see how it could alternate between different user names. How long does it normally yake to have it show that I'm a subscriber so that I can upload an avatar and all of that stuff? ( Hope I didn't just pay someone else's subscription.)

When I subscribed I think it occurred very quickly. Try deleting all your temp internet files (cookies etc.) and then logging back in.

If you pay by credit card, it's usually almost immediate. If you think you may have made a mistake with the name, it's probably best to send feedback to the site administrators (link at the bottom of the page). They usually respond quickly to subscription matters.

I did use a credit card. I just sent the feedback from the link in the email that I got from RHP confirming the subscription. Hopefully they can get it straightened out. As much as I like Veronicas, I don't really feel the need to bankroll any of them besides myself. Now I know why people would occassionally call me Moronica when I was in school. Chess, anyone? 🙂
