I'd like to throw this question out there for anyone who knows:
How are the emails and telephone numbers associated with an Apple account used? Are they actually used to send information (i.e. text messages, etc.) over or are they just used for validation purposes?
Example: the email associated with my wife's Apple ID email was through a former carrier and should have been invalidated when she cancelled her contract, yet, she can still use her Apple ID and send and receive messages over say, Messages on that email address. Been meaning to change her Apple ID and invalidate any accounts of hers associated with that email, but since they still work, there hasn't been any urgency or need. Thoughts??
