Any temprory free OTP number sites you know that works ?

I just want one to sign up for telegram, yes yes I know there can be privacy concerns but I'm only going to use it for piracy anyway and gonna enable 2FA . I don't have any mode of online payment and I'm broke anyway, so it has to be free . Looking back on some old reddit threads some seems to work for the people some don't, but those sites are irrelevant today as most have turned to shit or is shut down . I remember google voice being able to do that but I need to have a phone number to make a google account now so I guess its just jumping through hopes for no reason .

I have tried some top results on DDG which all sucks but do drop your reccomends .

Edit : To clear some mistakes in case I wasn't clear I didn't mean using 2FA for anonymity but so that no one else can log in the acc too as it is a public OTP number .

Psych OP ,

I actually don't have any means to pay no matter how cheap a service is . I should probably get some online banky thingy .

Idk what any of that means lol srry so can you uh explain .

Monero, cutie pie. look it up. getmonero.org

Psych OP , (edited )

Oh yeah crypto currencies right ? Seems a bit of work to do before getting in and hardly looks like a thing to do on a whims .

The hardest part is finding a place to buy, especially without KYC. Once you do have Monero, it is VERY easy to use.

Psych OP ,

cutie pie

Wait wtf ? How'd I miss this, what's this creep as shit .

Scolding0513 ,

ew im so creepy and weird

Psych OP ,

Exactly. Glad you acknowledged that .

Scolding0513 ,

me too, I love who I am

terminally_offline ,

I sure am judging you 🤢

Scolding0513 ,

I am a big bold and beautiful woman. your words cant hurt me

terminally_offline ,

You must be a troll then. Tagged as such.

I've noticed that people on lemmy, just like reddit, are not very good at banter or irony, they get easily upset. the year isnt 2008, you can lighten up. not every joke originates from a meme font template meme or a viral dog video. whatever, i dont care. i can just make new accounts when i get banned.

Ban evasion will be dealt with strictly. Stop this weird behaviour. This is not Reddit.

Scolding0513 ,

hehe

TheAnonymouseJoker ,

Just. Stop. Calm down.

What's with the flirting, Scolding0513?

Its a lot easier and cheaper to use monero than get a bank account

Psych OP ,

I do have a bank account but I only use it using an ATM card .

delirious_owl ,
@delirious_owl@discuss.online avatar

80% of the numbers don't work tho. You get refunded, but its frustrating

Kualk ,

Those hoops exist to identify you.

2FA will not keep you anonymous.

Compromised app will share your every detail.

I don't think the Telegram concerns are just privacy. I've read some mild speculation in other comments that the app may be compromised. 2FA will not protect you against a compromised app.

Psych OP ,

Eh the thing is I'm routing everything through VPN and I only will use it for piracy and if my number is a temp one too all they can track is what I do there which is just download movies I'm not that much concerned as android sandbox everything anyway . Also I use the Foss version from fdroid .

derbolle ,

a vpn doesn't protect you if an app is compromised. vpn is just putting your device into another person's or organization's Network.

I am not really familiar with how android sandboxes apps but I wouldn't trust my phone not being compromised after installing a potentially compromised app.

I know I was saying IP is safe .

But I'm gonna use fdroid version and I don't think they will push release if it is compromised

You can't sign up to telegram with the FOSS version, you have to use the Play store.

Most of the online SMS receiving services seem to work, but people are burning new numbers within the hour to sign up to telegram. Sometimes within minutes.

You can use TON crypto to buy a username, but that requires identifying yourself at third party exchanges.

Bluewallet, bitcoin. I've found quite a few Bitcoin Kiosks in the wild (U.S), which still requires a 20, but can go a long way with no need to identify yourself anywhere.

infeeeee ,

There is an official foss telegram client in the main f-droid repo. Packages on fdroid are built from source by the fdroid build server, not developers uploading their apks like on play store.

https://f-droid.org/packages/org.telegram.messenger/

There is a really small chance it's compromised and could got unnoticed in the source code.

porous_grey_matter ,

The chance that it's compromised is small but unfortunately the chance that it would be noticed is pretty small too, nobody is reading all the source code of all the apps on fdroid
