I got around it by registering a new number with phreeli.
granted, this is not something most people can go and do, phone numbers are hard to separate from. however, you might agree that privacy minded individuals are more likely to find that workaround acceptable.
I do like Dessalines post regarding alternatives, I'll have to do more research.
