So, lately a loooot of Services want a phone number from you even for th slightiest Things.
9 of 10 cases i dont wanna Do that so cannot use that Service. But sometimes i really need a specific Service But dont see the reason why it need my (Real) phone number.
So have anybody any Tips for me?
The reasons i wanna Do that is obciously besides privacy that i so far never had receive any Spam SMS in my Life and still wanna keep it that way.
I like using https://onlinesim.io when an account requires a phone number to setup. It’s designed specifically for online account activation. Jabber (https://jmp.chat) is another option to checkout. They offer phone numbers for $3/month currently. You can call and text from the number as long as you keep paying the $3/month and have an internet collection. Even allows you to set up your smartphone to have multiple functional numbers at a super reasonable price.
I would love to use jmp.chat for calls and sms, but it’s not affordable in most European countries at the moment.
Really? That’s surprising, what are they asking for per month?
I could only find this price list;
