As the tittle sais, i was trying to create an instagram account and it is not possible without a phone number. Same with discord. Obviously i dont want to provide mine. Any working solutions to bypass this? not looking for alternative private service, i already use them.
Cheap VoIP definitely won’t work, but there are business VoIP providers that don’t get abused by spam bots because of the price. They’ll work. Google Fi and other such combined real numbers should also work.
If getting the second number is easy or affordable, it’s probably been blacklisted, because scammers will abuse those services. That’s the whole reason you need to provide a phone number in the first place, companies want proof that you have something that’s difficult to get a whole bunch of to prevent spam accounts.
Where I’m from you can buy a prepaid SIM card at a gas station which works just fine
All my main numbers VoIP are Google. I’ve got two others at a large (Canadian, iirc) provider.
