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.

    You could always get a PAYG SIM as a secondary number.

    This is what I do. It costs me 50 cents every few months to keep alive. I only loaded it with $5 of credit, so I can ditch the SIM and get a new one at any time. The provider I went with didn’t ask for any personal details and only wanted payment.
