question Getting temporary/second phone numbers for account verification

I want to be part of some discord communities that require to give my phone number, i obviously do not want to do that. And some other services where I HAVE to provide my number

So it would be nice if i had some service where I can get some temporary phone number to get just act as my phone number. I paid for just temporary or I can pay monthly for a second phone number if it is fairly priced and trustworthy.

There tis such service. Unfortunately, I can't suggest it, the bot will yeet it out of existence. I will give you a riddle in it's place. In my experience with the phone number aliasing service, I have had success with discord; you can even get a ESIM with the service if discord isn't happy with the aliases. I personally use this aliasing service and it is very nice.

The problem with that is some pages have a limit number of phone verifications with the same number, and most of the temp numbers are the same as years ago in the “good” pages, so you can try searching a good site and try, but you will stay a looooong time trying with different numbers
