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?
I don’t know what a “small fix phone” is, but the phone is not the problem. The problem is basic services that require a phone number as part of your registration.
Oh. Fix Phone, I don’t know if this is the term in English, but I mean it as… one of these on the image, that you leave at home. Also called by the Weirdos That Refuse To Download Signal at my house, “Home’s Phone”.
