I have a bank account in the US, but they won't allow me to make certain purchases until they unblock my debit card, and they won't do that until I receive a confirmation SMS sent to a US phone number. I don't live in the US. I used to have an US phone number when I travelled there, but I don't anymore. I tried setting up a Twilio phone number but they told me that won't do.<p>I've been trying to find a service that allows me to rent a "non-voip" phone number but all I find are shady websites, and this website https://dtmf.io/ which seems to provide exactly the service that I need except it's for UK numbers and they're out of numbers anyway. I don't know if I will just have to resign to write a lot of angry messages to my bank until I get tired or they happen to find a magic switch that allows me to receive messages to my local phone number or to my jmp.chat number
I read an SFGate article about Parler yesterday, they had to use <a href="https://www.burnerapp.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.burnerapp.com/</a> to generate a working non-personal phone number as Parler wouldn’t accept a google voice number. For $2, it’s worth a shot! I hope this one works or someone else is able to offer a solution.
