It's not true several years ago was not possible without phone number verification
If it did, it didn't enforce uniqueness (I know this because I've had multiple accounts and only one phone), so you could just as easily use a temporary phone number.
Did you use a privacy friendly phone number? Many services like OpenAI's chatGPT will not allowing registering with a phone number which is not from a known network provider, quite invasive.
