(Not a plug, just being helpful)
There’s an app, on iOS and android, called “TextNow” which is totally free (with ads of course. Out the ass) that allows you to text/call over WiFi. It’s not the only app, but I have tried a bunch of these, and most are total scams. This one is probably some level of a scam, but it works for getting a text-able phone number which isn’t your actual number. You can keep it too if you sign in at least once per 30 days and send a text. I’ve here maintaining a “throw away” list phone numbers for… years… now. (Don’t ask)
You could easily make a throwaway email via VPN, make an account there still via VPN, and always use the app via VPN to maintain some amount of anonymity. If you wished.
Thanks! I’m bookmarking this and may try this later.
I hate that you have to give your number to so many websites now. If other people have more tips/recommendations please reply.
I would keep a dumb phone, the kind you pre-pay minutes and text messages onto for stuff like that.
