Why do providers of prepaid cell phones require a person to have a land line to activate a cell phone?

Russell asked:


When I purchased a Net10 cell phone, I was required to provide a land line phone number to activate it through their website. Now I want to change my cell phone number, but I do not have a land line, and Net10 refuses to change the cell phone number because I do not have a land line. I have no use for a land line. Why does Net10 require me to have a land line to activate a cell phone?
