Does anyone here have experience with Firefox Relay's paid Phone number aliases? (lemm.ee)

How reliable is this? Is it VoIP based or actual phone numbers that will be accepted everywhere?

It's VoIP-based, so yes, there are acceptance issues. Also good to be aware of: as opposed to the email masking, you get just a single phone number (more would be too expensive).

Still, kinda wish I could use it here outside the US.

Ah it's only one phone number? I thought it would give you multiple.

Yep, see https://relay.firefox.com/faq/#phone-masking-faq-question-how-many.

(Unfortunately, phone numbers are expensive, whereas email addresses are not.)
