All of these services are sketchy. However, I think it would be beneficial to the community if criteria were developed and recommendations made regarding which of these services are the least sketchy.

SMS Pool is not sketchy at all. What do you mean?

Smspool.net is actually good service, can fund with monero/bitcoin/lightning and you can get an account without email (just a string identifier)
Is there any reason @jonah we can’t recommend such services?

I have used smspool a lot and it works great I would reccomend adding it.
I’ve used 5sim before and its ok. Unfortunately, I’ve had numerous instances where I bought a number and it didn’t work (they give out refunds automatically if you don’t get any SMS after 15min). I think its the cheapest SMS verification service out there tho, so it kinda excuses the poor performance for me.
