You don't. Register with Signal using a temporary number.
- woojoo666 4y agobut if the temporary number gets recycled and somebody else uses it, can they re-register your account?
- atemerev 4y agoI cannot do it in my country without physically going to some office and showing my passport. Doesn’t feel “temporary” to me. SIM cloning is a thing. S7 hacking is a thing. Phone numbers are _insecure_ as IDs, as simple as that. Signal’s insistence to use nothing but phone numbers is somewhat suspicious these days. (Both major competitors in secure messaging, Wire and Theeema, allow pseudonymous temporary IDs in addition to phone numbers).
