    then you are fine. i think the only drawback is possible inability to call 999/911/112/311/1823.

    Definitely exists. I have had one for years. Tried to make a phone call on it a few times by accident and could not.

    This is a funny post.

    Data only SIMs do come with a phone number.

    The OP should state do I still need to make phone calls. The answer is no. The answer as it stands, is a resounding YES.
