I've heard of people getting VOIP numbers but not sure how this works.

I tried to get an extra number to forward, but those sites ask you to agree to the same privacy violations. I'm so pissed.

What can we do to recieve phone calls for jobs without signing up for endless spam?

Emails you can use email aliases ( addy.io, Firefox relay, port87, simplelogin, .... ).

I have no solution for a phone. You could get an extra sim purely for this and just let it expire ( and unplug it ) when you've got a job?

Beware that if you use paid service you might lose all these aliases once you can't pay anymore or it shuts down. Happened to me once, lost many accounts with 2FA.

Fair point :). Can also create a throwaway just for applying and ignore it afterwards.

You can also use your own domain in which case you can just migrate to a new provider ( unless you lose your domain )
