I'm also on VoIP (in Canada though) and didn't even realize you could get SMS to VoIP. Annoyingly many 2FAs use SMS (which isn't really that secure) and don't offer any other options. Banks, credit cards, etc. Another problem is travel where you can get your credit card declined and can't get the SMS. Over-aggressive anti-fraud AIs.

I think that may have actually been the exact original motivating use case. That the bank kept trying to send 2FA codes. Though I recall that may not have worked at first as our provider was probably still classified as not being a valid destination.

I'd need to check, but I'm on team spaces and I think she is on team tabs.
