So, lately a loooot of Services want a phone number from you even for th slightiest Things.

9 of 10 cases i dont wanna Do that so cannot use that Service. But sometimes i really need a specific Service But dont see the reason why it need my (Real) phone number.

So have anybody any Tips for me?

The reasons i wanna Do that is obciously besides privacy that i so far never had receive any Spam SMS in my Life and still wanna keep it that way.

In germany the Main Problem is that i have to use my ID to get a prepaid card. Sure it helps the Problem what i have right now But i dunno if I wanna Do that either :/

You (most likely) don't need a German card, just get one from any provider from within the EU.

But I bet that even in Germany you can get one without registration if you look at online marketplaces.
