It's a terrible idea, but until banks and other websites quit weaponizing 2FA in the name of security theater, workarounds like this are sometimes the only option.
It's bad enough having banks rely on a phone system where most carriers are perfectly happy to let anyone who knows your Address, DOB and Mother's Maiden name to port your phone number to a new SIM.
It probably requires less effort (and certainly less risk of discovery) to take over a Skype, Google Voice or other VOIP/SMS service.
