Oh proton gives mobile too... Ya know I didn't feel like paying for the mail thing as I can have my domain and relay easily but the mobile thing I didn't know.

But I will be honest I didn't see it mentioned on the web, it's already a thing?

They only generate email addresses.

Could you use Google voice to generate a dumby phone line ? There are probably better non-google options now though.

The problem here is that all of the registration information that is listed for a number (OCN, LATA, etc) allows them to track back what TYPE of number it is based on what ILEC/CLEC it's registered with and how it's registered.

This means when I put my google voice number into some things, they can come back and yell that it's not a mobile phone, or that it's a virtual number, or whatever and disallow it.

But could this also bypass dumb VoIP requirements for things like SMS 2FA?

I've tried using my Google Voice similarly but I'm faced with "I'm sorry but this number cannot be used for this."

Am I blind or are none of these actually offered by Proton themselves?
