Many thx for creating this!

In the Readme you mention: when experimenting you probably want to get a temporary phone number via an online service like Google Voice or Twilio rather than clobbering the keys for your own phone! For safety, the library uses the Signal staging server by default.

Can you provide more explanation on what this means for me when I use my real number that I have for signal?
