My solution - crappy china phone and the cheapest pre-paid sim card I can find. I turn it on, receive my SMS, then turn it off again. Doesn't track back to me because I paid cash, doesn't report my location because china phones don't have GPS, isn't on the VOIP or multiuser blacklist because its a "real" phone number.

- great-potential 5y agoYeah a bit overkill my threat model just encompass ISP/GAFAM not three letter agencies :D
- zxcvbn4038 5y agoIt won't protect you against three letter agencies - it is more my double middle finger to everyone who thinks SMS verification has value, or somehow the gateway to marketing to me, or being able to harass me if they wanted. I have the telco turn off voice mail on the number so that nobody can produce phone records showing a completed call and say I was contacted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mewYpU5OSUM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mewYpU5OSUM
- AUSNA-ZI 5y ago> Doesn't track back to me because I paid cash It tracks back to you if you turn it ON always in the vicinity of your real phone/home/work/etc.
- zxcvbn4038 5y agoThere are hundreds of people in the same area, I’ll take that bet.
- AUSNA-ZI 5y agonot always the same people? It's not a bet, it's just data/metadata that needs to be processed to de-anonymize you
