 Last time I tried to use it they only had UK numbers 😕 
 Is this somehow better than mysudo or jmp.chat? 
 It is because you get a real phone number unlike mysudo/jmp that provide you with a VOIP number, which fails most SMS based verification. 
 silent.link  
 A comparison between this and silent.link would be interesting :) 
 Only 10 available for rental in Czech.

 Signup with email, accepting a wagonload of shipcoins. 
 Actually, email is optional. But the lack of information makes my imagination go wild.

Looks like they only encrypt before storage. Outgoing messages are unencrypted, incoming too, so while SMS Providers don't protect you or your messages, they also don't protect them I would assume.

The only thing this provides is pseudonymity against the SMS providers, but with access to messages, that can quickly be deanonymised.

Also, they say that they protect against sim swaps, but how exactly, it seems they are at the same mercy of the SMS providers that we would be if we used our own sims.

Seems expensive for a false sense of security. Prove me wrong. 
 JMP Chat is our way to go 
 I have been using https://silent.link happily for a year now, though I know some people who've had issues with it. An alternative is https://crypton.sh, though I have not used it myself. Also it seems like you can't just get data service without a phone number, which you can do with silent.link.

 Not funny at all, though. 
 ...looks interesting... TY
