>- I can text you, from my number, from the command line (curl API) For SMS, Google Vooice both sends to and receives from email. I have a cronjob set up to `mail` a TextNow number that needs activity every 28 days to stay alive. >- CC incoming texts to a mailspool which allows me to browse my SMS history as if it were email (this one is particularly nice). Oh, I like this. I tend to delete most of my SMS-via-email, and the texts are always searchable in my Google Voice account, but can definitely see the appeal of always archiving all incoming texts with my mail so that I can use `mairix` for search. >Finally, I cannot participate in a discussion of hosted/VOIP vs. physical SIM numbers without reminding readers that a "2FA Mule" solves the problems of providers not supporting VOIP numbers for 2A: Nice. I do use my phone's SIM (now eSIM) number when (and only when) 2FA won't take Google Voice, but if I decide that is a meaningful security flaw, your approach would work. Speaking of telco superpowers, I don't know if Twilio lets you do this but Google Voice has always supported voice calls by browser. The only time I make or answer a phone call on my phone is when I am away from my computer. When iOS 8 appeared, I'd enjoyed the equivalent of Continuity for years.
