How to sign up services without phone number?
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 can get an eSIM pretty cheap, or buy individual activation phones from truverifi and similar sites. But it’s like $30/mo if you want a private number. Just to activate services it’s a dollar or two depending on the services.
Just make sure you remove it as a security code phone # after you create the account.
There is one site I know of that sells Ukrainian phone numbers for $15/year. Texts come in via email. A phone number is a phone number, if it doesn’t have to be US for some reason.
Thanks for reply .In don’t want to be stuck with a temporary phone at all. It will be just to sign up and that’s all. I am not bound tonany country for signup , I can be any country in world as you said a phone number is a phone number. Can you let me know details?
Generally, the reasons for a phone number are:
Account recovery 2FA
If you don’t want to use your number then consider a pre-pay sim. Depending what country you are in this will cost pennies per year.
I would suggest something like ProtonMail or most paid email services won’t require a number.
Protonmail doesn’t require phone numbers.
And they respect your privacy.
