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 mean, my full plan with more internet and minutes than I need is around $4. Paying $6 for something you don’t even fully use is a ripoff.

          You can technically get that here in the states, but it’s veeeery limited: Redpocket, and a couple of by-the-minute recharge plans afaik. This $6 plan only supplies 300 minutes, and 1gb of data. The typical rate for most people’s service is $50-$60 here (‘unlimited* data, messages, and minutes’), with my main line costing $85 plus bs fees. $6 as a backup/secondary could be a rounding error.
