I don't have a phone number.

Even my phone itself is set up as a tablet and cannot make or receive calls or texts.

No signal for me!

What do you use your phone for? Do you have a separate phone for calls? Bit confused. :D

What are calls?

There are ways to game that. Use Google voice or a free voip line to do the initial setup, then just use the app and delete the voip.

It's risky since once the voip is done, that line will be wiped, but then you're pretty much a signal ghost.
