I am working on it. I experienced some of the hurdle when I had put on pause my service while abroad and used an internet number and my trip ended up longer than expected. It was a real pain in whatever I ended up needing to deal with where that verification came into place but my phone was not able to receive text messages.

It was quite a process for me to get as disconnected as I am from my old world. It took many little steps. I was DEEP in it. I am grateful now but there were all a lot of pain points. It's tough in this world to be soviregn and free.
You don't have any number now or you just changed your number? I was thinking I'd just change my number but maybe I don't need to? 🤷🏻♀️
I first swtiched between a few numbers. I was actively working to disappear. I've since ditched having a sim all together. I have internet at home and there are many WiFi spots around my town. I have a music library and downloaded maps if I need them. But when I am out I have no internet. It's very freeing for me. If people want to connect I make them get signal. It's easier than would would think. It's like the old days. So free.
