They also aren't allowing "throwaway" VoIP numbers, so you can't even mask your main phone number - I tried signing up with both a Twilio number and a TextNow number and both failed with a "This number is not supported" error. I ended up opening a support ticket and they allowed me to bypass that requirement only after I explained that I don't have a traditional phone number.
No, I just had to open a support ticket. That said, it definitely added significant friction to signing up, and took two days for the ticket to be approved.
i was able to do the same by saying i didnt have a cell phone. it took some time only one email correspondence but they are somewhat catering. twitter in this case.
