How would an SMS code sent to a phone number be traced to the specific user? Anonymous VOIP numbers are plentiful.

You need to show identification to get a SIM card.

You can't receive the text message without cellular service.

I had to show my passport to get a SIM card.

I imagine they would block anonymous VOIP numbers.
