Topic: Would you recommend Hushed?

I've been looking into getting a private number service for my phone and one of best, which I'm lead to believe, is Hushed. https://hushed.com/

Seeing this is a community that strictly strives for libre software, I wonder if
anyone would recommend using Hushed or if there's a better service out there.

Thanks.

Personally I don't understand those systems as "telephone" and more as mobile devices with phone-capabilities - sorry, short off-site and no offense. What do you use as basic system on those mobile device? LineageOS? Replicant? As speaking about: This "service" only offers programs using proprietary repositories / stores (either Apple or Google), so you need the corresponding programs installed and an account for access.

Human being in favor with clear principles and so also for freedom in soft- and hardware!

Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices: For a life of every being full with peace and kindness, including diversity and freedom. Capitalism is destroying our minds, the planet itself and the universe in the end!

Hate to tell you this, but their services are non-free, look at their terms of use, and look at what you cannot modify...

2. Restrictions

That should tell you to be very careful if you want to use this service...
