    It’s not misinformation, but it’s also not free. You have to “get a fake number” of sorts from the Fragment blockchain.

    I don’t know much about those specifics because I live in the US, and fragment doesn’t work here (due to conflicting views with the FEC). In theory, a VPN might let you do what you want even if you are in the US.
