thanks for the note Matt. I think you're right and it's something we've debated before. In the end we decided to leave it in there. The first thing we do when you get started with us is call you to schedule the photo shoot for your car. We come to your place to do this at your convenience, but we need the phone number. We'll re-evaluate this over the weekend. Thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate it!
Almost all our meetings are set up over email, IM or text. And the vast majority of communication is online too.
So requiring a phone is a sign that the old way of doing things is not gone, and it will make it harder to get traction, especially from the HN crowd and people with poorer English.
This is a total non starter for me as well, at least have 100% email as an option. I don't pick up numbers I don't have in my address book, so you would get my voice mail, which would result in me emailing you anyway.
