I remember a few years ago doing something similar with a Twilio number. This seems like a bit less setup, but how is this different from that?

It's different for two reasons: - As @detaro mentioned, it's a fully managed solution where you don't have to set it up, or more importantly, maintain it - it's all done for you. - Twilio numbers do not receive SMS messages from short code numbers, which are usually the ones sending 2FA messages.

I didn't know (or notice) that twilio couldn't revive sms from short code numbers. Thanks for the info!

why would it be "different from that" except for not having to set it up yourself?

I was wondering if there was a competitive advantage, maybe different providers besides Twillio or more countries etc..
