It seems you can hardly use any service anymore without giving them your phone number. Everyone wants the phone number. Zero privacy.

Same on nostr, but with sats. 🤣

Phone number is the fastest KYC proxy because of how they are issued. It drives me crazy

Yeah. It’s basically KYC and denies access to people without one.

5.36 Billion use FB

5.8 billion have mobile phones.

Leaving around 2.2 billion that are phoneless.

I bet they live amazing lives and have great community though.

Drives me crazy, and no practical privacy-maintaining solution in sight.

Use quackr.io and jmp.chat to get temporary or secondary #s for free / low cost. Not all services accept JMP-issued numbers.

Most services I’ve tried don’t accept those kinds of numbers

I’m using sms.pool

I've been thinking for a couple years that I'd be happy with them going away.

That would be ideal.

What are y’all’s perspective on MySudo? In my experience, I have had very little to no issues with KYC upon online registrations & it works excellent with 2FA features

You’d need a paid subscription of either:

• $2/mo for 1 VoIP phone #

• $5/mo for 3 VoIP phone #s

• $15/mo for 9 VoIP phone #s

Along with other features shown

I dunno, I’ve tried many services and most don’t work.

I use it. Its fine

Counter point

You can hardly run any services anymore without being attacked constantly by bots and attackers and fraudsters, phone numbers one of the best ways to cook block 99% of it

😔

Yeah… it’s so annoying

Super annoying
