During covid, i made a Google voice number so i didn't have to give my real number when we were working from home. It was fine for that.
A surprising amount of services block Google Voice for 2FA (where a surprising number of services both required 2FA & only support SMS despite the security issue); I wouldn’t rely on it (but sometimes it still makes the most sense since you can’t beat the price, free). My favorite was PayPal deciding to block Google Voice & the only way to message support is by first authenticating—where asking on Twitter was an immediate block so… fuck PayPal & never used it since.
