The first real money I ever made from game development was on Android. It was in 2013, when Android was still the underdog compared to the iPhone, and was being touted as a great platform for developers.

How about you post your phone number here? It seems you have no problem in sharing someone share their number in public, and I hope you put the same srandard to yourself.
So what exactly is wrong with making the voice mail say "I will never check this. Email me at person@company.tld if you want help"? If the requirement is bullshit, why shouldn't people comply maliciously? As long as there's some way to contact the dev (like through email), who gives a rats ass if the phone number doesn't work? I don't need to call Lawrence Dawson cause Sync is having issues. I can post on the sub or probably find an email somewhere. It's not gonna be instant like a phone call, but it doesn't need to be.
Okay, I missed read and I apologize. However, you're just trolling. You disagree the phone requirement. Yet when others propose alternative solutions that direct uses to an equally direct communication method, you oppose that too without providing any alternatives.
