Okay, here we go: I woke up to a scam message on my WhatsApp. I just blocked the number, before starting to wonder how they got my number. And guess what I found out? They got a data breach and didn’t tell their users a singular thing. And when asked about it, they tried to deny it.

So, here I am to ask: What can I do to avoid getting my phone number “less breacheable”? Is there a specific company that supports brazillian phone numbering I should switch to now?
A google voice number filters out spammers very well, and I hand it out to all the dipshits who ask for my phone number. Set it on mute so they can’t even call you. Use the number to poison data as well.
Only people I care about get my real number.
My provider must do a good job as I barely get spam calls. On another it was more common.
You really recomending Google services on a privacy thread?
