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.
I use sms verif services for more than a year, yes most of them look outdated but they work fine. Recently I switched to voidmob sms, it is todays market standard for sms verification platform with some additional privacy related services. Idk if this is what you look for but u can give it a try.
That looks indeed quite good (and much more modern!) but they do not support monero, what a pity
They actually do, I guess they just removed it from public to not get unwanted attention. XMR was there few weeks ago lol.
Okay, that explains the “Pay instantly with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other cryptocurrencies.” while showing only the first three =D maybe it will come back, will keep an eye on them
Yup, u have to enter their dash for that. Anyways, hope I helped u.
