Show HN: SMS to Slack, receive 2FA codes in Slack

I remember a few years ago doing something similar with a Twilio number. This seems like a bit less setup, but how is this different from that?

why would it be "different from that" except for not having to set it up yourself?

I was wondering if there was a competitive advantage, maybe different providers besides Twillio or more countries etc..

It's different for two reasons: - As @detaro mentioned, it's a fully managed solution where you don't have to set it up, or more importantly, maintain it - it's all done for you. - Twilio numbers do not receive SMS messages from short code numbers, which are usually the ones sending 2FA messages.

I didn't know (or notice) that twilio couldn't revive sms from short code numbers. Thanks for the info!
