One way, though maybe not the best depending on your needs, is to send  
an email to phone\_number@carrier, such as removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid.

Peace.

Ordinary cell number. So if someone has the number 555-123-4567 on AT&T,  
send an email to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid. You’ll just need to know the  
domains for all of the cellular providers.

Peace.
