Any ways to simulate a phone number from my computer?

With all of these websites asking for my phone number for "verification" is it possible to assign my computer a mobile number and receive texts from it? I am not giving my phone number just to make a fucking Jewtube account.

not that i know of. you can use skype to send and call from your phone number, but skype does not receive anything, it will end up on your phone.
there might be websites that offer a service, but since there is no such thing yet as free sms or call service, all of those sites would be paid. i'm sure there are sites that give you a virtual phone number, but it's not for free.

i'd recommend you to buy a pre-paid card tho, depending on country you live in, it costs around 10 eur in entire EU and US. get a starter package, it comes with like 5eur call time and sim. that's all you need. depending on country, some of them gets disabled if you don't put any money onto them within 3-12 months, some take longer. i have one that is like 5 years old and i haven't put any money onto it for like 2-3 years and it's still active.
