They announced a long time ago. Unless it's an actual feature, you are tied to a phone number. All the examples require your phone number.

- sureglymop 3y agoThey (Signal) made this[0] blog post last week with APK downloads for testing it in the staging environment (completely without phone number). So if you want to test it, you can already do that right now. I think it will hit production in early 2024, pretty soon. Whatsapp is also going forward with a similar feature as a reaction to the Signal updates [1], although not entirely sure if it will work with no phone number at all.
