Methods to create your own virtual/temporary phone numbers?

Whenever apps request phone number confirmation where they send you texts with a code to confirm, it really annoys me and sometimes I don’t want to put in my own.

Sometimes I’ll already have an account and want a secondary one but can’t make one due to already having used my number.

I know I could of course go out and buy a pay as you go sim and just use that.

But are there any ways to do this virtually? Like so many apps and services will get you to pay them to use their own virtual numbers. Is there anyway I can do this myself?

I have programming, networking and cloud experience so I feel like it should be something I could do, or at least teach myself - if it’s doable.

Anyone have any ideas?
