    But it does require a cell phone number to get started, meaning your signal account is tied to your identity via your phone carrier

      There are many services that will give you a temp number to sign up with for these services. I have many verified discord accounts, none of which are my actual phone number.

        I don’t think you can use another number that isn’t the phone number tied to your device when you use Signal mobile app.

        I have two phones and Signal refused to let ne sign in on phone a using phones b’s number.
