How to sign up services without phone number?

Hello all, recently wanted to signup for temporary permanent legit emailmid in gmail. It was asking me Phone number in process, i tried to use multiple numbers from regular online resources ( more than 30) but nothing worked. I don’t want to give my personal phone number in real life to someone’s unless Its I want to.

How do I sign up services where phone number is required ? Is there throw away phone number I can get ? Is there way to skip it all together ( not on Gmail for sure ) Your help be appreciated.

    If you’re in the US, a Google VOIP number is free. The only service that won’t accept it is - Google. The drawback? You gotta use it every now and then or they’ll reclaim the number. And Google listens to all the conversations and texts.

      Lot of places don’t accept Google Voice numbers any more (or VOIP in general). They straight up want your cell.
