Can you use a Twilio number for $1/mo or some other burner service?

Twilio numbers, and most other VOIP numbers, cannot receive the short code text messages that Google uses for verification.

You're right, I forgot that it doesn't work the other way around (my Google Voice number definitely can receive shortcodes though).
