Are there any ways to avoid handing over your real phone number, besides having an extra SIM? Lots of places/services want SMS verification, but i rarely want to hand out my actual phone number.

    A google service doesn’t really inspire trust in privacy? I’m trying to move away from Google services as much as possible.

      I’d rather be 1 of billions of Google users instead of 1 of thousands on another smaller service. But a prepaid burner phone that doesn’t require any sort of personal information would be the ultimate privacy and still get you SMS capability.
