As the tittle sais, i was trying to create an instagram account and it is not possible without a phone number. Same with discord. Obviously i dont want to provide mine. Any working solutions to bypass this? not looking for alternative private service, i already use them.

    Anonymous Sims still exist in abundance. Cash for SIM cards is a big thing everywhere I’ve been.

    But the IMSI doesn’t change so it’s not really anonymous if your phone is tied to identity. Just depends on your threat model

      First - the thing that is persistent with a phone is IMEI, IMSI is the one in the simcard. Second - “cash for sims” is not legal in many places, like where I live. There are places that sell illegal anonymous ones (not like you can get in trouble for that tho), but idk how reliable these actually are, and I still haven’t learned to find these places consistently.
