I tried using "smspool.net" to get numbers for Telegram and Google Voice verification, but I can’t recommend it, especially for Google Voice. Out of ~20 attempts to get verification codes for Google Voice, I only received codes 7 times. Most of those were rejected by Google with the error “This phone number can’t be used to sign up for a Google Voice number,” or the number just got linked to my account without being usable as a Google Voice number. I reached out to Google Support, and they explained that the numbers are likely VOIP or have been used for too many accounts, which Google now blocks. For context, I followed best practices: used a trusted browser (Brave in Incognito), premium VPNs with US IPs, and 3-month-old Google accounts with no issues. Despite all this, the numbers from smspool consistently failed. For Telegram, it’s just as bad. Finding a number that isn’t banned or already has 2FA enabled by someone else is nearly impossible. smspool doesn’t filter out these problematic numbers, which just wastes everyone’s time and energy. Don’t burn your time on this like I did. Anyone else get stuck with smspool or know a better way to get this done?
