It's what I have done for years. Only costs $1/mo for the number and a couple hours learning their API.
Your existing cell number can be ported over to Twilio if you are patient.
The only problem is trying to use the number for 2fa. A growing number of banks (like Capital One) block Twilio services from recieving their SMS.

Can you think of any drawbacks of using this for important services like say PayPal? Or are you strictly using this for throw away products and services?

Is this available to people outside of the US as well and is there a guide for setting this up? Last time I used twilio for a basic sms gateway there was a lot of clicking and typing.

I've been using voip.ms in Canada to great success. Even SMS codes from banks and Whatsapp work correctly. Excellent service, highly recommend, especially with voicemail auto-transcription (then sent to email) and SMS from desktop via email.

I would recommend using the Studio workflow which is GUI based and easy.

I forgot to mention this earlier, but you can also proxy outbound calls through Twilio:

You can also have more permanent proxy numbers for services or people that may need to get in touch with you long term.
