Could you build this?

No Providing real and virtual phone numbers for global SMS and OTP reception requires direct telecommunication carrier integrations, SIM bank hardware or wholesale MVNO aggregators, and regulatory telecom compliance.

What it would actually take: A functional service requires partnerships with wholesale telecom carriers (or deploying hardware GSM SIM banks), maintaining regulatory compliance (KYC/AML to prevent fraud and carrier blocks), and provisioning phone numbers across dozens of countries. The backend needs a high-throughput webhook/SMPP pipeline to capture incoming SMS messages in real-time and distribute verification codes securely to subscribers.
