I thought of doing the same until I realized that it's a silly workaround. If I ever need to restore my account or forget password or change device, I'd need the same burner phone... it's a burner anymore now is it? And then I gave up because of the forced contact discovery... it's a pity. I wish there was a popular chat service that worked more like Blackberry. Central network but just pseudonymns instead of the phone number.
