some of us are trying to get rid of the smart phone ;). I want a flip phone but 2FA is a problem with flip phones. I recently started to use 1password paid just 2FA.

on a serious note, this is unfortunately what scammers like to use, it would be prudent to lock it down before scammers put you in the middle of a legal cases. I have a long story, I tell people about scammmers, but in the case, please be careful. Grandma is getting conned by these telephone virtual numbers.

Agreed. This type of service is ripe for committing fraud. I'd be very very careful about the customers you serve
Do you happen to know more about how the companies that only offer the phone numbers prevent fraud?
They don’t do so super well, in general. There’s a reason that risk scoring solutions for phone numbers often see numbers flagged as VOIP as red flags.
