Because of the ongoing fucktastrophe, the cries of "Use SIGNAL!" are constant and unavoidable. And I get it, it may be the least-bad option in a sea of terrible options. If, that is, you choose to ignore the advice of "don't use your phone for that shit" (the Stringer Bell Rule). But out of curiosity, because I haven't been keeping up, has the Signal Corporation addressed: The fact that they ...
I don’t have a phone number.

What do you use your phone for? Do you have a separate phone for calls? Bit confused. :D
What are calls?
There are ways to game that. Use Google voice or a free voip line to do the initial setup, then just use the app and delete the voip.
It’s risky since once the voip is done, that line will be wiped, but then you’re pretty much a signal ghost.
