He had been trying to obtain a local number but\u00a0 without a home or a residence in the United States it was difficult to do.\u00a0 He had a US cell phone number with a California area code, but he was applying for jobs in Los Angeles, Dallas, San Diego, and other places.\u00a0 Also, the positions he applied for were seasonal and he needed to be able to get numbers in different cities often during the year.
