      This is yet another way tying accounts to phone numbers can come back to bite you! I guess pulling out means denying registration from the country’s numbers as well? So that would mean either a constant additional expense (which might be significant for poor people), or constantly risk getting the account deleted if you tied it to one-time rental.
