Comment on Sign up on services without phone number? Is it possible?

You can get an eSIM pretty cheap, or buy individual activation phones from truverifi and similar sites. But it’s like $30/mo if you want a private number. Just to activate services it’s a dollar or two depending on the services.
Just make sure you remove it as a security code phone # after you create the account.

Generally, the reasons for a phone number are:
Account recovery 2FA
If you don’t want to use your number then consider a pre-pay sim. Depending what country you are in this will cost pennies per year.
I would suggest something like ProtonMail or most paid email services won’t require a number.
