It’s time to stop using SMS for security

This is why I switched over to a VOIP number instead. SMS works everywhere I have internet, and if I have to I just pick up a data-only sim card for wherever I am. Can even check my messages online. Probably not as secure, and wouldn't work well if I was regularly calling people, but for the most part it works fine and costs $1 a month.

Unfortunately voip, in my case voip.ms, does not work with all sms send methods.

$1/mo? Which provider is that? Twilio?
