You can rent a phone number from Twilio for $2/mo and forward incoming calls and texts to your phone number. Although as of recently you can't send texts unless you do some dumb identity verification thing.
- aftbit 3y agoExcept many/most services will not trust any "VoIP" phone numbers, because the real reason they want your number is not 2FA, but instead sibyl resistance. If you force scammers/fraudsters to burn an "expensive" number (yes, $4/mo prepaid SIM is expensive) then you get less spam/fraud. By the way, don't use Twilio. You can get a phone number from someone like BulkVS or Anveo Direct for literally $0.06/month.
