Eh, SMS could be a burner phone or virtual number but I sort of agree that the site could recommend people do that rather than entering their own real phone number if they want to sign up for optional SMS alerts. It's probably one of those convenience vs privacy issues - how to enable non-tech savvy people to receive optional alerts if they choose to.

Burner phone still tracks the person everywhere. Yeah it's hard. Too bad 1-way pagers are near extinct now.
