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?
