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.

    Why did you switch may I ask? You switched to tello? How you like it?

    I haven’t bad the need to switch my redpocket number so it’s a non issue for me. It’s cheap and it works unless you see another reason why I should make the switch. I’m open to hearing you out.

      It’s been a couple years so I don’t remember why I wanted out; it might have been concern about renewal, losing the number, or something like that, I just can’t remember. But I’ve been happy with tello, and I remember I had to contact cs once a while back, they got back with me within the day, and I’ve needed no other help. The site is pretty user-friendly, even for porting in/out. Data allotments recently doubled with no charge, which is nice. The number I was assigned doesn’t have any issues with spam, and the price has remained the same (for my plan selection), even when I’ve hopped around on other MVNOs the last few years. It’s a pretty nice place for cell service, assuming your area/tower isn’t strained for data bandwidth.

        Yeah just checked them out and I think I’ll stick with RP. It’s the cheapest you can get and it works. Tello’s plan is a bit more expensive for less of what I’m getting
