Everything you mentioned is the beauty of the EU privacy laws (so far), however there is another negative externality you haven't planned for maybe.

Giving your phone number out to all these services also means that it can be used as a single identifier to track you and your behavior across all those services.

I'm not sure that GDPR is helping us a lot there.
