If you have Bitcoin, you can buy some SMS numbers for getting out of
this lockout without giving up your real phone number:
http://receivesmsonline.com/buynumbers

That service also has free numbers available on their front page:
http://receivesmsonline.com/, but those are likely to already be
flagged/overused. Also, you might risk getting your account
extra-special-locked by trying to use a free one that Twitter knows
about.

Yeah, maybe. However, once a company starts down this path, it tends to
become entrenched beyond all rational thought. I am not optimistic that
Twitter will be any different.

Welcome to the Nymwars 2.0!
