That is why you have a disposable pay as you go phone , use Skype on your computer with a different number, use Magic Jack and the long distance phone bills won’t show up. Lots of possibilities. I get what you are saying thought for privacy but there are many options. Monthly charge for pay as you go texting is 15 bucks unlimited. Now the only concern I have is that some providers don’t accept texts or calls from IP phones. In those scenarios, I value my privacy more than a visit to a certain provider and just won’t bother.
