I’d like to be able to create accounts without a phone number - things like Twitter/X, Facebook, etc. I tried to sign up for a Braxsim (only $15/mo) so I can have a phone number to use which doesn’t tie back to my identity. But as soon as I got to the payment page, it was obvious that this wouldn’…

Please stay away from Brax. His business is essentially manipulating people who are beginning to look for privacy and making them paranoid in order to sell them his snake-oil “solution.” He’s a fraud. Don’t buy his products. I’m sure there are other solutions that will fulfill your needs. I only kn…

Rob Braxman is a scammer and a charlatan.

15$ a month is expensive for that service. How did you choose this one ?

SMSPool/Silent.link for data and Jmp.chat for a long-term number seems more reasonable.

I didn’t choose it. After reading the TOS and privacy policy, I decided not to use Braxsim. If I have to dox myself to get a sim#, I might as well just use my carrier number (not that I would ever do that…)

[image] anon67953901: SMSPool/Silent.link for data and Jmp.chat for a long-term number seems more reasonable. Will jmp.chat work to create an X/Twitter account? It doesn’t seem to be a real carrier-based SIM.

I’m not sure. I’ve heard it works better than other VOIP services but I don’t understand it. I would recommend using SMSPool for Twitter and then you can either disable the phone number so there’s no threat to account security or try to transfer it to your Jmp number (if it doesn’t work initially). …

Lol I read “Braxism” as in “people evolving into misinforming fear mongerers selling you bad products” Dont trust that guy one bit

I’ve seen this sentiment echoed before. Do you have any sources for this?

I don’t think he’s a scammer at all. I just think that his solutions for privacy are inadequate. The TOS and privacy policy for his Braxsim service are probably dictated by the third party he partnered with and are likely beyond his control. He doesn’t own the “infrastructure”.
