    As someone pointed out in the article comments; This enforces fb's agenda to have its users submit as much personal info as possible to them.

    I e-mailed Sprint and told them I didn't want to pay for texts, since I only receive a few a month. To summarize, they replied "No problem, we'll put you down for 200 free texts a month. Is that all you need, or can we help you with something else?". I was shocked, but service like that will retain me as a customer. I went so far as to write a response to commend them for it.
     
    But I guess your way works too: do nothing. Can't be disappointed if you never try, right?

You can get everything in life you want, if you will help enough other people get what they want.
