Oh proton gives mobile too… Ya know I didn’t feel like paying for the mail thing as I can have my domain and relay easily but the mobile thing I didn’t know.
But I will be honest I didn’t see it mentioned on the web, it’s already a thing?
The problem here is that all of the registration information that is listed for a number (OCN, LATA, etc) allows them to track back what TYPE of number it is based on what ILEC/CLEC it’s registered with and how it’s registered.
This means when I put my google voice number into some things, they can come back and yell that it’s not a mobile phone, or that it’s a virtual number, or whatever and disallow it.
I think it’s gotten to the point that we. (Collective) Have to start using alias. I know proton for a price gives fake mobile and email address.
I have started using a 5th email to sign up to things. Have an extra number as well. It’s beyond a joke really.
Tried to sign up for a budget app and it requires email phone and address.
No. No you don’t require any of that. You want that to sell. And you’ve likely got inadequate protection.
Nobody but my bank job and maybe a few places require all my info.

They only generate email addresses.
Could you use Google voice to generate a dumby phone line ? There are probably better non-google options now though.
