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.

Mozilla relay might work ~~https://relay.firefox.com/#pricing~~ Ladrius

or mysudo ~~https://mysudo.com/mysudo-plans/~~ bl4kers

also may i ask what's stopping you from using proton mail as the temporary/permanent legit mail?

Relay doesn't. Got it for this purpose and it wasn't accepted anywhere needing a number for verification.

I don't recommend MySudo because it requires a Google account to subscribe
