You dont need to hand over your mobile number, just get a raspberrypi, install freeswitch and sign up to a free voip number which happens to be in the range of numbers used by mobile phone operators. https://www.sipgatebasic.co.uk/

I really dont know how they think they can use 2FA to stop all but the most basic of bots from buying up rpi's.

I have SMS capable voip numbers, and also ones ported from old phones. Many 2fa services have a db of these, and refused to send.

Thats quite a lot of surveillance.

You DO realize you're posting on an article about restrictions for purchasing Pis right?
