Registering a .com requires a phone number for the whois records, but what do you do if you have no phone number?

(It's an academic question for me right now, but I did spend a significant amount of my life with internet access but no phone number. How do the deaf register domains or are they effectively excluded?)

    Test driven development? (I suspect you had a different meaning in mind, so, no I haven't.)

    Hello mods. Is this "off topic" because of it's academic nature (as ErikA implies above) or are the niceties of whois data off-topic for SF? (Not picking a fight. I just wish to learn what I did wrong.)

    +1 just because of this awesome insight: "How do the deaf register domains or are they effectively excluded?"

You could use one of the temporary number services like iNumber or TossableDigits. You could also sign up for an Internet "phone" like Google Voice.

Then give a false one, since there is no real need to have correct information on Whois. My personal preference is a string of 0's.
