- barbazoo 3y agoIn case one isn't aware, you can get a $1/month throwaway phone number from Twilio for that purpose.
- lxgr 3y agoThat's a neat workaround for the people that can figure that out, but doesn't change the underlying problem for the majority of users at all.
- alternatex 3y agoMajority of users don't have phone numbers?
- lxgr 3y agoI'm referring to the majority of users not having (or wanting to use) phone numbers. Some of these will be willing and able to pay $1/month to Twilio for a workaround, but most probably won't.
- bonton89 3y agoAren't these VoIP? Almost every service blocks VoIP numbers for sign ups these days, but perhaps Signal is an exception.
- barbazoo 3y agoThey work with Signal, Facebook, etc. Sometimes you have to try another one to get it to work.
