A service that provides a temporary phone number for the purpose of setting up a twitter account - Do you know of a reliable free one?

I would like to shitpost on twitter but don't want to provide my phone number for obvious reasons. Anyone know of a workaround?

I'm not broke because I don't waste money on bullshit. If there's a free option I'm using that.

Google voice is a good option if you live in the US. Back when I had a twitter account and didn't want to use my personal email or phone number it's what I used

I'm not saying to trust Twitter or anything but wanted to point out you can delete the phone number from your account after you confirm it.

Yeah, doesn't make me feel much safer. I made a twitter account a couple weeks ago and used my phone number to activate it. As soon as I started using it one of the suggested people to follow was a close friend of mine. Got so creeped out by that I deactivated it same day. I used a burner email and I don't have the twitter app, so I'm not sure how they could have accessed my contacts.

You're just shouting into the void on Twitter.

It's much better to go to your local Greyhound station and scream at real people

,so I'm not sure how they could have accessed my contacts.

They accessed your friend's contacts list.

Easy; Your friend uses the app and your number is in his contacts, thus when you use that number on twitter...

ETA: I'm a late retard. But still; everyone should remember this - you can have decent opsec regarding your own anonymity; but all it takes is for someone to have your number and name in their contacts and using whatever social media. You will have a shadow profile, like it or not.
