in reply to dansup • •@Daniel Supernault Would this require some external SMS verification service? The chances that such a service is cheap enough and at the same time can be trusted with that information, is I guess close to zero. Or have you found good candidates?
If such a service costs even a tiny little bit of money per check, this provides an opening to malicious actors to drive up your bill by just firing millions of sign up requests at it, even if they know they'll fail.
