ya that's useful. I do like this service. I have noticed more and more that people are asking for phone numbers for app registration and even in person I have seen this. A phone number to me is private and personal.

The firefox service is priced well but 75 texts and 50 minutes of voice is fairly limited. The burner phone services that exist are too sketchy and too expensive for my taste.

I don't like marketing or sales but if you could market yourself as a privacy focused, Free/Libre solution that wasn't a sketchy fly by night operation and offered more than a closed source phone app I would subscribe.

Twilio itself seems to be oriented towards businesses and not individuals which is why I did not sign up with them.
