    OK, well buy a burner SIM card

    Illegal in many countries. SIM cards are attached to your real world identity.

      And we shouldn’t depend on such archaic highly centralized technology like phone numbers from techinical perspective either, it is only like this because it is deeply entrenched and a very easily a suprisingly reliable form of identification and deanomization
