Just get a MySudo number, thats basically why they even have a business model. Its on Android and iOS

The issue isn't acquiring a number.

It's that publishing a number implicitly comes with the responsibility to monitor that number, which is a huge burden, especially if it's readily visible to bots.

It also presumes you have a contact number. Some big companies don't for the reason you mentioned, and some smaller ones don't, because they have no need for a business number.

Haha yeah no it doesn't. Get a throw away phone from Walmart for $10. Use that number. Throw away phone.
