> Are there any good alternatives? You might want try the RWG Mobile app [1][2]. Although I have only used it within the UK, they appear to give you a real number rather than VOIP number. I'm not sure if this applies to the US or Canada, but you could check with them. One of the main reasons I started using the app was because it was the only one I could find that could successfully receive 2FA SMSs. Another reason was because EE hadn't yet enabled Wi-Fi Calling for my phone (Nexus 6P) and I needed a way to receive text messages over Wi-Fi since the 2G/3G reception is really poor where I work. Being able to centralise voicemail [3] across multiple devices is also quite useful.
