advice sought: so now i need to publicly list a phone number on the Downpour app store listing? where can i get a phone number from? i don't want to put my actual number there for obvious reasons.

@v I set up a twilio number a while back to thwart telemarketers, I use that same number for the app stores.
I pay like a dollar a month for an actual Swedish number and a cent or two per incoming call.

@v it was slightly annoying to set up for apple, because their verification thing would start talking too quickly so the recording would miss the code, but I managed to make it work.
haven't been allowed to set it up for google yet.

@v A&A is good for this (it is possible to just redirect them to another number) aa.net.uk/voice-and-mobile/voi

@v Haven't used them for ages, but Voipfone worked well, £5 plan comes with a number & all the divert/voicemail stuff (could probably save 50p by picking £1.50 plan + £3 number) voipfone.co.uk

@v we use A&A for this stuff at work, and they're solid if a bit clunky sometimes. not sure how they compare on price, but from memory they're cheap enough that cost isn't the major concern

@v You could use jmp.chat jmp.chat/ which goes over XMPP (might be USA/Canada only, not sure)

@v I'm in the same boat and was looking into Skype as an option but now researching some options from these comments too

@draknek @v Can't you just buy a dumbphone and a burner sim?

@sos @draknek yeah, but then you need to remember to top up & use it to keep it active

@v @draknek Ok, Plan B: If you have a business phone plan, they will usually give you an extra sim for five a month or something. (at least here in poland)
