RECEIVing texts for digits
Why can't I get text messages from Amazon for account verification OTP to(#8563084006 From didgits line)
Hey there! I am very sorry but DIGITS does not support shortcodes. In order to receive shortcodes, you will have to have them delivered to the SIM line.

Honestly, I don't prefer to expose my SIM phone number to vendors (banks, credit cards, target, etc) due to not knowing who would be selling my mobile number to 3rd parties for solicitation/scam calls. That said, i would still like to utilize functions that require short codes verification on their app. So it would be great to use DIGITS for that purpose (where can turn off the DIGITS service when I don't want to be bothered on my phone). Or are there other options you can suggest? Also, are there any plans to support shortcodes via DIGITS? And any reason why such function is not supported by DIGITS?
Gracias,
T-Mobile wants users to purchase an eSIM for $40+ dollars on an "payment plan" -- rather than just providing regular customers the added feature on Digits of being able to receive verification codes and texts. Sucks really.
