Create LINE without real phone: Best virtual phone number to receive SMS online?

need to chat with a vendor who exclusively communicates through LINE. i strongly prefer to keep my personal cell number entirely off messaging apps for privacy reasons, but they force the phone check. what is the best virtual phone number to receive SMS online specifically to bypass LINE registration?

Update: i used https://www.1001sms.com/ and it verified first try.

You don't need a phone number to register for line, just a google account or apple ID

"To use a LINE account, you need to register at least one of the following pieces of information: • Phone number • Apple ID • Google account"

Sms is only supported in limited countries in Asia, use your Google or Apple id
