You can use disposable phone numbers to receive text messages
2 comments

FB blocks those numbers, I've tried those in the past. Almost all major services that use phone verification ignore those numbers out right or act like they accept it but either:

1. don't bother sending texts

2. shadowban you

I've had some iffy experiences doing that with FB, Google and Azure.

Azure wouldn't even let me use my actual main number because it happens to be a google voice number and they actively block voip numbers (seems they look up the CLEC info somehow).
