Locked out of Twitter because I don't have a mobile phone

"Enter your mobile phone number to receive a text message with a confirmation code. You’ll use the code to verify this is really your number."

Am I the only person left on Earth who doesn't have a celly? They have a similar deal in place when I renew my security clearance at work but they have alternatives for people who aren't phone zombies. Twitter doesn't, and I suspect it's because they really, really, REALLY want another contact point from which to annoy me. Soooo, no great loss I guess.

3. cell phone number is also used to collect marketing data

another way to cross-correlate all that data about what you buy, where you go, what you're thinking, etc.

4. I had a similar problem

I had a Republic Wireless phone that went extinct when they went off the Sprint network. I replaced it with another phone with the same number, but they were still rejecting it.

Email their customer service. They are slow to respond, but they fixed it for me and I got back on.

5. You are not alone.

6. Yes, no great loss.

I valued my twitter account quite a lot, but then I went and said something mean that one of their advertisers disliked, so now I'm suspended pending me giving them my private phone number. What do they want that for? To check on me now and then to see if I'm ok? No. They want it for no reasons that serve my interests. I will not comply.
So here's yet another Twitter vagabond. There is a lot of us!

8. Try Google Voice...

Before I got a permanent mobile phone, I used services like Google Voice to activate accounts like that - even to a foreign bank. Do not know if this still is possible, but here is address:
