That depends on what you want with privacy. If you'd want to chat anonymously, having to use your real phone number is a bummer. At least in my country, it's getting harder and harder to get a SIM-card that is not tied to your name.

The alternative is getting a burner SIM-card. Though, that will become harder once more prepaid providers require your ID.
