Facebook (I know) is forcing me to revive a code via a phone number to "prove I'm real". I figured this would be a good usecase for relay phone numbrrs, but thus far I haven't revived any codes after many attempts.

Anyone else experience this?

That would be more then I'm willing to spend. I'm basically trying to get around their human verification process. The first thing they demand is a phone number to receive a OTP.

What I did find was a service called smspool.net that let's you order a non-voip number to receive a OTP for around $0.25. You can rent a phone number if you want but I was able to get the OTP and get through the appeal process.
