SMS Providers (For OTP Verification) that accept Monero
I need to create an account that requires a phone number, but I do not have a phone number.
Does anyone have a link to a list of verified/vetted providers of one-time-use phone numbers that can be purchased for the purpose of receiving SMS OTP codes?
I'm looking for a cheap provider that I can send < 2 USD worth of XMR in-exchange for a few hours use of a new/throwaway phone number in a popular country.
@Unkn8wn69, thanks for the link. I hadn't heard of this particular SMS service. it's hard to tell from the site if the long term rentals are VOIP or non-VOIP numbers on physical SIM cards. Do you know? Also, they advertise long tem rentals for $3/day (that's $90/month!), but at the bottom of the FAQ under "Additional Information" it says SIm rental is $0.52/day, which is much more reasonable. Also, their FAQ seems to indicate a max long term rental of 180 days. Have you ever used them for long term? And can you use the service to send SMS as well as receive? Can you confirm any of this? Thanks. I'm asking all of this because in my experience Google and banks SMS 2FA won't work with virtual numbers or non-VOIP numbers.
