Just get a virtual DID number from something like Voip.ms or virtualphone. There may be other providers out there that use crypto for payment for added privacy, but if all you want to do is be able to keep your real phone # off the grid, these work.
What i want is a phone that is basically a beeper for text messages. Doesn’t even have to send. just receive the stupid OTP. I wonder how hard that’d be to make with like a raspberri pi or something
I’ve been considering getting a pager or a burner phone just for this
Most phones are dual Sim these days
Better to not associate this number to your main phone anyway. Less likelyhood to have the info stolen from you.

usually they check for VOIP numbers and give you an error. Has to be legit.
Can pagers receive text messages? I thought they are closed ecosystems, basically?
you know i’m not sure.
