Adding a phone to 2FA is a bad idea
When I logged in to the Linux app just now I was prodded to add a phone number in addition to my 2FA settings. This is an extremely bad idea because adding a phone makes the account vulnerable to SIM hijacking, which it wouldn't be if you just use the 2FA app/backup codes
Although not ideal, it is generally better to use an email address as the destination of a back up code

Depends on how bad the sim provider then yes i agree, i heard that some are encrypted in a way so that once a hyjack is detected then the system does everything to remove the hacker, but hey not proven to be done yet so I can't say anything
