Doesn't it also require a phone number?

Have you used this successfully?

never tried it, but it looks simple enough--paste a phone number into whatever you're signing up for and see if it gets a SMS. just remember that bogus temp phone numbers might be accessible by anyone--don't make any "real" non-throwaway accts with it

I have never had one of these things work for me. Wasted considerable time on it.

Bookmarked in case I ever need it, thanks!

Yeah everyone does now. Even fucking gitlab demanded my phone number and credit card.
