there are a lot of options for keeping people connected that dont require a phone like matrix, xmpp and a much bigger etc. so if someone wanted to ditch their phone and only use their linux laptop, would that be possible?? thank you!!

You can get a phone number from twilio, vitelity, voip.ms etc, and you can run a SIP client on the laptop if you need to make or receive phone calls.
Some SMS 2fa messages won’t be sent to VoIP numbers. Particularly those coming from 5 digit numbers.
Just something to keep in mind, as it was a difficulty that I ran into using a twilio number for a lot of web services.
Yeah… that’s the problem.
And the solution is services like truverifi
That’s a new one for me, I’ll add it to the list.
I haven’t had to deal with that much, but yeah it can happen. For 2fa in particular, TOTP is way preferable to SMS.
Of course but some garbage companies only offer sms MFA
Oh good, someone had suggestions. Thank you, I’ll keep these written down for when I need an anonymous voip again. The last ones I used suddenly became disqualified for what I was using them for. Hadn’t gotten around to trying replacements.
jmp.chat works well for north america too
