        Better to not associate this number to your main phone anyway. Less likelyhood to have the info stolen from you.

      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.

      Can pagers receive text messages? I thought they are closed ecosystems, basically?

        you know i’m not sure.

        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
