almost all of those are blacklisted from banks and email providers, yes.

btw there’s no restriction on creating new Apple accounts under a phone number that’s already associated with one. I’ve lost access to several Apple IDs over the last 20 years w the same phone number.

what there is a restriction on: after creating something like 4 or 5 Apple IDs from the same phone or computer. Apple goes that’s it , this device isn’t allowed to create any more IDs.

Sure, but I get an error when I try to use my phone number. It's like a distinction without a difference.

Do you have dual eSIM capability on your phone?

Or a spare used/old phone with eSIM capability?

/r/usmobile has a $10/mo plan that can be up and provisioned (usually in just a few minutes) as a second line.

kicker: as long as you’re physically in the US . But you can create an Apple ID with prepaid intl SIMs too.

Yeah. I was just looking at cheap tello and mint mobile plans. I think I assumed t-mob plans were horrifically expensive. Thx for the info.

I'm in the states, so that simplifies things.
