Thanks for adding to the list. So far, I still like their data-only eSIM plan, and I can see a use case for it in addition to another eSIM—like something prepaid with a number. But I agree, the inbound US IDENTITY for 2FA is not reliable or something I plan on keeping at this point, and that's disappointing.

We are in the process to switching fully to jmp.chat. For mobile internet we will stay with silent.link, the data plans are really good
I’m curious why you would use SMS 2FA at all? Email or preferably Authenticator app is superior… even better, Yubikey, although not as widely accepted.
When I lived in Latin America I transitioned everything to email or app.
In the US, some major social media, financial institutions, companies, apps, etc. require a phone number that can be verified by text in order to participate in their services. You can opt to also use an app or YubiKey for 2FA, but they require a verified phone as well. They have restrictions on what kinds of phone numbers they allow and can detect and disallow XMPP, VoIP, and silent link eSIMs.
I'll stick with the data only plans moving forward. Thanks for the info.
