Could you build this?

No Running a temporary SMS reception service requires physical SIM farms, contracts with international telecom aggregators, or proprietary VoIP/SS7 routing infrastructure.

What it would actually take: A genuine provider must either maintain physical GSM modem pools (SIM banks with thousands of rotating prepaid SIM cards across 100+ countries) or hold direct wholesale SMPP connections with global mobile network operators (MNOs/MVNOs). The critical bottleneck is acquiring and rotating non-VoIP numbers that bypass anti-fraud verification checks (WhatsApp, Google, etc.) and handling SMS routing in real time. This requires substantial capital, specialized telecom hardware infrastructure, and ongoing anti-fraud cat-and-mouse operations.
