For initial setup it requires a phone that can receive a text message for an ID.
https://www.textnow.com/ can give you a free US cell phone. No credit card or other needed. I signed up using facebook (optional) account in about 5 seconds.
After that just send a dummy outbound text message once a month to keep it active. I've since obtained a dummy sim and phone number for use here and in other things since so many things want phone numbers these days and I dont want to hand out my personal one. So I have that sim now which costs me like $1 a month prepaid and its in an old button phone and is used only for TG, paypal, etc...
I dislike the phone requirement, but that aside TG is very nice.
