No such thing tbh. None of the usual "extra phone number" services are any better.

Curious what specific problem has you bailing though

It's the copy and paste thing support posts or says every fucking times you try and talk to them. I guess the down voters think I'm pro this weird act they do to make it feel like you have control of your data.
