How many phone numbers am I suppose to get then? Just looking over my main projects, I have about a dozen twitter accounts for distinctive purposes, each with social profiles which are used for different reasons.
Example: local women in tech group, berlin startup community, several distinctive blogs with different audiences - and this is just without looking further.
In order to use the social plugins f.e. Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress it is required to have an app to have a proper integration. Am I now supposed to get 12 phone numbers, install each of them on my phone, get the verification code, confirm and then hope to never get a message there, since those will be lying in my drawer?
I understand the benefits of having a phone number and having a way to tie it together - but this way I will NOT register several phone number but just reject any usage of API behaviour aka not use any of the benefits. In this case: manually maybe sometimes update the follower counter.
