This is a long shot but has anyone ever passed an online account sign-up process that required non-VoIP SMS verification by somehow tricking their system that your throwaway phone number (sms4sats or similar) is not VoIP?

Almost forgot to follow up but I used it to successfully sign up for Strike 🥳 thanks a bunch
why would you have a throwaway phone number?
why would you have a phone number
(mobile phone networks are insecure, calling is inconvenient and SMS is overly restrictive and also not suitable for purposes of authentcation (seemingly the most common use for it nowadays) and we should be pushing to abolish them)
I once did that with Twitter. But it was a hell a journey to get there.
