How to carrier level block all calls and texts to a phone number, to only allow data, to force others to use Signal? (lemmy.world)

Not just locally on the device! There must be an error when calling or texting the number.

Data must work for internet for Signal, VoIP, etc.

This is for a UK PAYG SIM.

There should be no way for anyone to demand my number, or for me to leak it, or doing so should be irrelevant as it does not work.

In America, there is nothing that allows you to make that call/text to share that number for tablets. So I don’t see why this isn’t already a thing
