some banks blacklist voip #s (and hence google voice #s it seems) so 2FA notifications fail to go them. I wonder if people who have google fi have the same issue.
- LinuxBender 5y agoI use skype-in (skype with a landline number) that can do SMS. The only site I have found that was able to send SMS to it was LinkedIn. All the banks block it. All eCommerce sites block it that I have tried.
- sudosysgen 5y agoIt's less about a specific blacklist than Skype-in not implementing short-code SMS support.
- simtel20 5y agoThere are lists of numbers owned by voip providers. If you have an early gv number it is usually not on those lists, and so it works fine. Whether that's a good thing is another question.
- compsciphd 5y agomy google voice # is actually my former sprint #. still gets blocked by some banks, though almost all of them that do block, have options for e-mail or voice call, so doesn't impact me much.
- flyingfences 5y agoAnecdotally, I have no issue with 2FA texts coming through on my Google Fi line.
- pxeboot 5y ago> I wonder if people who have google fi have the same issue. Fi numbers are actually hosted by T-Mobile and show up as mobile, not voip by all carrier lookup services I have seen.
