I receive OTP SMSes on GV from AirBnB, and several dozen other entities, I have 2FA turned on for everything. Six-digit numbers are a pain because you think that's the OTP, at first, and then enter the wrong OTP. for marketing, promotion, polling, etc.).

Might it come to life fully after a few hours? I think so but I'm rarely that patient.įWIW, SMS is NOT a guaranteed service, it is not store and forward.Īll the OTPs I receive on GV are short code SMS (SCSMS) they come from five or six-digit "numbers" (used initially as being easy to remember, these are used widely in the U.S. If I left this SIM on net I wouldn't have to do this. I then send an SMS to the T-Mo number until it goes through, then this SIM is "primed" to receive the OTP. I then make a voice call to the T-Mo number (from GV, Talkatone, UM), which rings through - I don't answer. People who've sent me texts (from/in the U.S.) have reported this feedback to me. T-Mo has, I think, an automated message blocking system for devices off-net. It takes ~ 5 minutes for the phone to come to life and get a roaming signal (AIS in my location - you'll get a message from T-Mo about the costs associated with using your SIM in Thailand). My T-Mobile SIM remains in a phone which is turned off. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what does it mean to "prime" T-Mobile international roaming? As Skype mentions, you can always receive a voice call, which Capital One offers as an alternative, and I have used a couple of times. It appears Skype is rejecting SMS from what they refer to as a "short code", which is a special phone number:Īpparently Capital One and Bank of America do not use a short code to send the SMS OTP's that I receive. As I demonstrated, I am able to get my purchase confirmation OTP SMS messages from Capital One and Bank of America.
#SKYPE ONLINE NUMBERS VERIFICATION#
However, SMS messages sent from services such as identity verification are not supported on US Skype Numbers." I found the following link with the statement " Note: You can receive SMS messages on your US Skype Number from US and Canadian mobile numbers.
I can send and receive SMS from US mobile phones without a problem it is only the OTPs that I seem to have problems with and AirBnb. In fact, it's been years since I've had an issue using GV with ~ 30-ish accounts. (But GV, Talkatone both work fine with BofA SMSes). I believe Capital One also allows you to use their mobile app for 2FA.īofA allows the use of a FIDO key. Yeah just set up a new Google/GMail account here, email them the username and password, they can setup the GV number, then just give you the number. Most pass SCSMS now, for those entities which use service providers who use this method. Tens of millions of Americans receive 2FA OTPs via SMS. I'm considering porting one of my GV (or my T-Mo) numbers to Google Fi. T-Mobile (International GSM roaming) Works, but needs to be primed first. UltraMobile (WiFi Calling) (best overall solution, IMO) Quite a few excellent threads here, so a search would reveal a lot of great info. So your only application is receiving 2FA SMS OTP's? For those entities which only offer this method for 2FA?
