I’ve found that some virtual numbers stop receiving texts randomly after a while, especially with verification codes. Calls usually come through fine, but SMS can be hit or miss.

Tried US virtual numbers for verifications and a few calls, and some worked fine while others dropped messages. Switched to sms.to for a small project, and it’s been solid—messages arrive reliably and I haven’t missed a code. For a few business calls, it’s been stable too.
