Does anyone know of a free disposable SMS site which has Swiss phone number? I would really like one of these email addresses but don't have a Swiss number and they are forcing this privacy-hostile restriction on us.

Swiss phone numbers require ID/residency, including VoIP. Several VoIP sites state "The customer can either apply for a new number with the desired prefix or transfer an existing telephone number. Swiss telephone numbers are reserved exclusively for users with verifiable domicile in Switzerland."

It is extremely hostile, yes.
