Not sure how did you get that impression. For example, you can not even get a post-paid cell phone or credit card without SSN.
That is simply not true. The reason credit card/cell phone providers require an SSN is to check your credit history - after all, both services (CC/post-paid) involves extending credit to you. If you are willing to cover the risk involved (by say, making a security deposit) then you certainly can obtain either service in the US without an SSN.
