I know in the US it is much harder to get a cell phone number without KYC than it used to be. It is still doable and you can use services like silentlink to do so with bitcoin. But, I am not aware of how difficult this is to do in other countries. Anyone care to share?

silentlink was easy to set up for me in canada, but i was only using it for data.

having a local phone number that i could receive texts on became important eventually, and ultimately ended my silent link experiment.

the one thing i couldn’t get around was that my bank required 2FA and they only allowed 2FA via text or call.

crypton.sh provides an online SMS service, good rates

silent.link has an option to get a number too. But it costs more money.

reply

true, silent link’s price for a number is much more than a cheap canadian carrier though, so went that route

Mexico is easy.

Aside from that, registering anything with phone numbers is a total No Go security wise.

impossible in Belgium, I need to drive to the Netherlands to buy a sim without KYC
