@heavens_feel@poa.st @bigtony@0.5dollah.click @RustyCrab@clubcyberia.co @pettanko@tsundere.love Warning: for 2FA purposes VoIP numbers (eg: a lot of the Google Voice block) are commonly banned. Porting your number to something like Tello (T-mobile MVNO) that allows wifi calling/roaming (and won't close your account even if you aren't in the US periodically) is better.

@heavens_feel@poa.st @bigtony@0.5dollah.click @RustyCrab@clubcyberia.co @pettanko@tsundere.love Nice thing about Tello in particular is that you can just sign up for a real US mobile phone number online, even from Japan (requires a credit card, and a phone capable of eSIM support). It costs money per minute, but wifi calling is free, and I use the monthly billing to keep my US credit score active.

@greyarea@mitra.vpclmulqdq.moe @bigtony@0.5dollah.click @RustyCrab@clubcyberia.co @pettanko@tsundere.love Thank you for the clarification. In my case I set google voice up before I left the states and went to the things I needed verification for, registered the number with them, and did a trial run. After that everything was smooth sailing. It was good for you to bring that to attention.
