Is it better ,or just as good to use a VoIP provider like https://voip.ms/ rather than mysudo for things like pseudonyms.For example,having a number dedicated for Shopping so that amazon doesnt have your phone number.The reason I ask this is because MySudo doesnt work on a degoogled phone like CalyxOS regardless if it has microG or not.Would apreciate any answers.

    I’m quite familiar with voipms since I have a reseller account with them for my sms service . They aren’t very privacy friendly, so if you are trying to maintain anonymity there are probably better options. I successfully ported a MySudo number to my voipms.

    I’ll point out that MySudo seems to only use Twilio which is a developer oriented voip/sms company. You can directly make account them them and use a web interface but they aren’t very private either and require a non voip number to be confirmed on the account.

    If you really want MySudo (note they are proprietary) you could try running it in android-x86 which includes standard google apps I believe. Haven’t tried this

      Are there any kinda privacy friendly VoIP providers?Also im not too worried since for VoIP ms I can tie the least ammount of personal identifiable information as possible.For example if an email is required use a simplelogin aleeas and for payment either a non reloadable prepaid visa card or privacy.com.However,if possible could you point me too a more privacy oriented service?If not fully privacy friendly at least one that asks for as little information as possible?Since you mentioned there are probably better options.
