How to Safely Verify Line Account Without Phone
You want to make your life easier by creating an account with LINE, so you can send messages, pay bills, listen to music, chat with a doctor, and more. However, during the sign-up stage, you need to verify your phone number.

Why LINE Asks for Phone Verification
Like any service provider, LINE will send a code via text or call on your phone to verify that you are a real person. However, it seems like you hear about another corporation that's been hacked every month, and your personal information is in danger.
Companies such as LINE have added a layer of protection for accounts when they ask for phone verification. However, you may still not want to give your phone number for fear of dozens of unsolicited texts and your loss of privacy.

Buy a burner phone. | This phone can be an expense that's wasted if you don't have another need for a burner phone. |
Get a friend to let you use their phone number. | Doing this can create tension in the future if the number you used receives spam. |
A fake phone number can save you money and keep your friendships intact while helping you with phone verification.
Potential Issues With Phone Verification
