What service do you use for extra phone number?
 
I am looking for a new phone number to receive verification texts, as well as potentially make/receive calls, if needed. Does the number from Text plus have this capabilities? Or what other cost effective options are out there?

Thank you

I use text plus. It works for verification texts. I’ve even talked to support on the phone from it. I paid for a premium number. It’s $4.99 per year. It’s the cheapest I’ve found. Whatever you do make sure you’re on a plan because the service provider will change your number every so often if you’re on a free plan. It won’t change if you use the number frequently but $4.99 is worth it for peace of mind.

Just tried Text+
Wouldn't give me a number.
Moved over to TextNow.
So far so good. Able to send/receive calls and text.
$4.99/year to keep the number.

Does Amazon not verify the account holder name by doing a reverse lookup? I keep a legit service for Amazon just for this reason....

Is this just for amazon? If so just be careful as numbers are reused.

If its not then services like Hushed work well

Does Text + work for verification texts (login, and number verification)? These come from a six digit number (not a real phone number). I purchased a phone line from text+ and did not receive a verification text when prompted. I contacted their support but havent heard back all week.

I did receive a response from Text plus. They said that confirmation codes cannot be recevied on text plus numbers. So I'm looking for a different option. Curious to what others are using?

Yes, this would be for Amazon.

Tracfone

A flip phone costs like 20 - 30 bucks, need to pay $10 - 15 / month in top ups to keep it active.

If you go for the cheapest service, the number you receive will likely have been used for something abusive/fraudulent in the past. People who are doing something abusive/fraudulent generally want to pay as little as possible.

Anything you can get for free will most definitely cost you big in the future.
