Both telegram and discord need phone numbers though - telegram upfront and discord after your used it for about ten mimutes.

  Telegram accepts Google Voice, and Discord doesn't seem to require a phone number (I never added one to either of my accounts).

  Unless it has changed, the phone number verification is server-based. If an admin sets the verification level to Highest you will be prompted if you attempt to join their server: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/216679607 https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/216679607

  Telegram uses phone numbers just as UIDs, they're not shared to anyone without your permission. As for Discord, I've got a few accounts and have been asked for telephone numbers 0 times. It's only needed when a specific server demands it, haven't seen any yet.

    If discord has too few selectors (IP, email, browser fingerprint, useragent, behavior) to identify you from or they are too generic, they will demand that you use a phone number. Low-reputation IP addresses do this especially, you'll be locked right out of an account for using one. I'd rather be able to just pay them money for an account than have to go use a VPS or residential proxy in order to avoid the phone requirement.
