Did you happen to transfer that phone number from a land-line to a mobile? Sort of like geo-ip systems, the SMS providers like twilio track blocks of numbers and label them as land-line or not, and refuse to send SMS to landlines. Unfortunately they're quite stale and don't account for the possibility that users could switch their number. They have ways for the user to reach out individually and fix their number, which is... Dumb.
- k8svet 3y agoMy phone number was once a Verizon number. Then Google Voice. Then Google Fi. Then, since Google couldn't transfer my number from Fi back to Voice, and Fi left me stranded multiple times with a non-functioning phone, I transferred out to Telnyx where I have my own little scripts that forward calls and forward/reverse-fwd SMS to my email. It's brilliant for my lifestyle - bouncing around countries with a different eSIM every month or so. Idk, I get why it's the way it is but it's asinine and annoying as hell.
