Yea, my dumbass used Google voice as my main 2fa number and recently lost access to it. Can't get it back and I'm locked out of everything. Don't be like me. Google really can't be trusted for personal or business use. If I could talk to a human and pay $100 for it I would.

Please don't say that. I can absolutely see google charging for customer service.

I used to live in the US and use voice as my primary number for everything. I don't think there is a better option.

Not for free!

When you are not paying for the product then you are the product!!

But it is NOT that hard for HN community to get VOIP number over SIP. All the smart phones have a sip client now days.

Just use it everyday and you'll be good.

Doesn't seem to do too well with foreign numbers. Never had issues calling but 2FA texts don't come through.
