SMS Verification Message Web-Sites
Mike Bazzell, author of "The Complete Privacy & Security Desk Reference: Volume I: Digital" (and several other books), web-master / owner of IntelTechniques, and general privacy and OSINT guru has added a SMS Verification Texts page to his web-site.
Many web services require a phone verification in order to create an account. They send a verification code to your cell phone number that you have to enter on the website. If you do not feel comfortable providing your personal cell-phone number to receive a SMS text every time you sign up for an online service, there are numerous websites that could help you to receive a message on a Computer.
SMS Verification Messages.
Don't use these sites as part of 2FA to log into your accounts - this would be extremely dangerous since the SMS messages sent to these sites are publicly viewable. However, when needing to receive a SMS message as a one-time verification they have their place.
