As the tittle sais, i was trying to create an instagram account and it is not possible without a phone number. Same with discord. Obviously i dont want to provide mine. Any working solutions to bypass this? not looking for alternative private service, i already use them.

Google Voice or Firefox Relay if sign up is insisting.

Also, after you create a Discord account, you can remove the number visiting account details.

Oh but do they keep it backed up? Guess you'll never know!

But does it matter when it's from G Voice or FF Relay? You can just delete the numbers from your account and get a new one.

Ah, I see what you're saying, and that's a good point
