Phone verification, using twilio.You can at least verify that the user controls a mobile phone number.
My bank offers this as an option to send a verification code when I use a new computer or browser.
The drawback for you is that unlike my bank you are probably not verifying an existing account and are taking the phone number from the same person you're validating.
- ams6110 16y agoAnother (possible --- depends on your usage scenarios) drawback is that cell phone text messages are not always "instantaneous". I've personally seen lags of up to 30 minutes between send and receipt, particular in fringe reception areas.
