As long as they don't send messages from a shortcode number.

Exactly!

Fixed, I'm an idiot. It's per/month.

I'll make that clearer - thanks!

I've heard that but just US people for a US number. Anyway, the issue was that I (Australian) couldn't get an Australian number :) Thanks for checking it out!

Yeah, sorry that wasn't clearer. It's just ~15 countries that you can buy a number for, but you receive the SMS anywhere in the world by email / etc.

Good point, will fix this up!

That's just how it auto-formats / displays. The numbers are from Twilio and I've got some customers using Austrian numbers. Sorry for the confusion.

Yeah, it's an annoying situation! Exactly why I created it :)

Hi! If you didn't have your Norwegian sim card in your phone though, you wouldn't be able to receive it. Also some people don't have a local sim card (eg. I travel around Asia, no sim from Australia) and those that do may have to pay global roaming charges to receive SMSes. I should probably explain the need for it a bit better. Thanks for checking it out :)

Hey! I'm Bryce (the author of the post / product). As I touched on in my post, I'm a fan of using the tools you already know. The end goal was clear - to build a product that solved my problem. For me, I was looking for the fastest and most efficient route to get to that solution.
