Anyone know of some good Lighting enabled Bitcoin wallets that don’t need an email or telephone number to set up?

Phoenix
Phoenix and BlueWallet are good
#BlueWallet is terrible, through the sunsetting of Lndhub.io they lost users funds without warning inside the app or any kind of notification. Do not recommend! In fact you can't even use it right now without connecting your own node.
Downloaded BlueWallet and when confronted with that node extra decided to just move onto the next option 🤓
Oh! Thanks for correcting me on this. I have had minimal experience with it in the past (generally liking it when I played around with it) and heard good things about it for awhile.
I'll look into what you've mentioned and stop recommending it for now.
try "Wallet of Satoshi" and "Blink (Bitcoin Beach Wallet)"
both great wallets
Wallet of Satoshi so far seems to be the preferred option 🤓
WoS is custodial though. Phoenix is noncustodial. I'm not saying is bad, just that it is important to consider the tradeoffs
100%
I think the dangers of custodial wallets aren't taught enough. We'll have to create better lightning wallets, which thankfully is happening with the development of BOLT12. There is even already a self-custodial lightning wallet called Phoenix. Either way be careful adopting any new wallet.
Taking another look at #Phoenix wallet as non custodial is the way to go. Just thought was interesting they ask to sign into iCloud in order to back up payments. Why on earth would anyone do that LOL. Here you go Apple, take a look at my transaction history in my Bitcoin wallet LOL :-)
