I've found a few temporary SMS number sites, but it seems that all their numbers are blacklisted.

What's the going way to get a burner phone number for email verifications these days?

I've got a curious problem with #SMS #TextMessaging on #FOSS #Android:

QKSMS/QUIK does absolutely everything I need (except for RCS), but can't send #MMS attachments larger than 300KB. It just fails instantly. It compresses them automatically if I turn that setting on, but 300KB JPEGs are pretty potatoey.
The #AOSP Messaging app handles images over 1 MiB with no issues whatsoever. But it doesn't have a search feature, which I need.

#Fossify SMS just drains my battery.
