Hello all, recently wanted to signup for temporary permanent legit emailmid in gmail. It was asking me Phone number in process, i tried to use multiple numbers from regular online resources ( more than 30) but nothing worked. I don’t want to give my personal phone number in real life to someone’s unless Its I want to.
How do I sign up services where phone number is required ? Is there throw away phone number I can get ? Is there way to skip it all together ( not on Gmail for sure ) Your help be appreciated.
I use a ‘burner’ number with a prepaid provider that I pay $6 a month for, for all my “needs your phone number” bullshit. It’s not a true burner since I’m holding it long-term, but it’s a secondary number that I don’t use unless I get a call or message on that number. Keeps my main/‘real’ number safe, from both data breaches and the weird manager at the pizza place or whatever.
What service do you use? Been thinking about doing the same sort of thing.
Tello. $5 for baseline call service and minutes, unlimited text. $1 for some backup data if my primary carrier doesn’t have service in an area. Runs on the t-mo network. Deprioritized to qci7 so data might not be reliable in areas where they have over-subscribed their towers, but that’s only for data, so it’s a footnote.
