What about a Twilio virtual number? Isn't porting disabled for them?
- kelnos 7y agoPorting is not disabled, though presumably it would be harder for an attacker to figure out your number if you only use it for 2FA purposes. The main issue with Twilio numbers is that they can't receive from short codes. If the service you're using sends 2FA codes from a short code, they'll just disappear into the ether. Of course, if you're just using this as a placeholder because the site requires SMS backup, then maybe it's ok that you can't receive on them.
