It doesn’t require a phone number anymore.

Edit: I was wrong. :p

As far as I know Signal still requires a phone number to register an account. Since a while you can use usernames to connect with others instead of exchanging phone numbers.

Ohh, I wasn’t aware that it was still necessary for registering.

The username release is quite recent for those not participating in beta versions of Signal.
