Would be super interested in hearing more about where you could find such a deal _with a physical SIM_. Seems far too good to be true.

Many "IOT" providers give physical numbers for almost no cost, and they provide physical SIM cards for the service. The aren't VOIP so aren't blocked by twilio, etc for use with Twitter and other services.

These and even much smaller providers are usually known to spammers. I've had poor luck with them.

You can sign up for a Twitter account with a Twilio number? I'd be surprised

I used Red Pocket, which comes down to about 2.50/month if you buy a prepaid card on eBay: https://www.redpocket.com/plans/annual
