Why do I have to supply my phone numbers, I only want reply's by email!
The numbers are required for market.bb to get in contact with you, if required. You may choose if they are displayed or not in the classified your publish. Some people only wish to show their cell phone since some persons can call on inconvenient times. You may also choose under your "My profile" link if you want the numbers to show as standard when you add new classifieds.
