You can use any phone number you have access to. It doesn't need to be a unique phone number for each child.

- test1235 4y agoHas anyone come up with a disposable mobile number service, similar to how you can get a temporary email address for signing up to junk?
- encryptluks2 4y agoThey exist, but this is likely a very bad idea. Most services that I've found, once you use a mobile number with them they never really remove it and the next thing you know, they are sending some stranger SMS messages to change your password per their "secure" 2FA requirements.
- ev1 4y agoI can confirm this is a bad idea. Many many services permanently use it as some kind of fall back recovery, even after the phone number is removed and recycled and no other one is added.
