I am working on a small project and I need to test account creation flows on a few platforms. The issue is that some of them require phone verification, and I do not want to use my personal number for every test.

What is the simplest way to generate temporary or disposable phone numbers that actually work for verification. I see a lot of sketchy sites online and I do not know which ones are safe or reliable.

How do developers or self hosters usually handle this. Looking for something easy to manage that will not leak my real number or expose it to random services.
