I have a security and privacy problem:

Internet is not secure / safe. Using VPN and virtual telephone numbers is a standard.

Please, do virtual phone numbers exist also for free?

 

Please, do you know any specific link to get it?

 

I tried some but to create / open Google Account with it, it was not working because the Google was saying something like this: "Too many people used this phone number. Not acceptable this phone number."
 

P.S.> I need it for Windows 10 for PC.

Even if I would pay for the virtual phone number, this is not secure because they would know my bank connection. So, only one secure resolution is a FREE PERSONAL INDIVIDUAL HIDDEN phone number that would be accepted by the Google account.

Why would they need to know you bank details? You can use things like a pre paid visa card thats in no way connected to your name or bank account.
 
This is what they actually look like theres no card holder name on the card and you must go into the post office and physically put money into the account.

And its perfectly legal.

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry I didn't express myself clearly. Because I mean this:

 

Of course there are ways where they cannot know your identity in the first instance, for example if you use a pre paid visa card or whatever like this.

 

But if they really want to find your identity, hackers always have the knowledge to get your identity. Because to open your account to get a pre paid visa card, you must always provide your personal data to the bank, no matter whether you must go into the post office and physically put money into the account.

 

And except these illegal ways by hackers, there are also "legal" ways where the state fascist authorities (the police, prosecuting attorney, court of law) can force the bank to tell them your identity. I really do not trust our political system where people are persecuted for their political views.

 

In short, if you pay online, there is always some your digital footprint.

 

So, only one really secure way is FREE INDIVIDUAL telephone numbers. And the company can make money from commercials.
