Some of the comments pointed out that this is hostile behaviour for people roaming as well, and I completely agree. Here is my solution for this : When I am roaming internationally, I leave my SIM card in a spare android at home plugged into a charger. Android has an app that forwards SMS to API : https://f-droid.org/packages/tech.bogomolov.incomingsmsgatew.... Every time I receive a SMS I forward it to this API. The API in turn emails me the whole message.

I have been using this setup for a few years now without any issues. Even when I am not roaming, I still have this setup on my primary phone. So when I am on my computer and need a SMS OTP I don't need to go find my phone, I receive it in email :-).

(Note : This doesn't work with MMS but I don't need them anyway)
