In case one isn't aware, you can get a $1/month throwaway phone number from Twilio for that purpose.

That's a neat workaround for the people that can figure that out, but doesn't change the underlying problem for the majority of users at all.

Majority of users don't have phone numbers?

I'm referring to the majority of users not having (or wanting to use) phone numbers.

Some of these will be willing and able to pay $1/month to Twilio for a workaround, but most probably won't.

Aren't these VoIP? Almost every service blocks VoIP numbers for sign ups these days, but perhaps Signal is an exception.

They work with Signal, Facebook, etc. Sometimes you have to try another one to get it to work.
