Guys, tell me how you get around the need to provide your phone number when registering on different sites? It's especially annoying when you just want to try a service, and they immediately tell you - give me your number. Is there a way to get verification codes without linking them to your number? Preferably for free and without registration.

Yes, I also don't like to give away my number, especially on obscure websites. I've been using services like for a long time now - it's a real lifesaver! For example, the same receive-sms.io does a great job: you go in, choose a number from the list of countries, and that's it, you can receive codes. Free, fast, no binding to yourself. For one-time tasks - an ideal option.
