Are there any ways to avoid handing over your real phone number, besides having an extra SIM? Lots of places/services want SMS verification, but i rarely want to hand out my actual phone number.

    This is mostly just for various online sign ups, they have no valid reason to get my real phone number.

      To verify online sign up and not registering your number with an app or service, your only choice is to pay for a second number or not sign up at all.
