I needed help finding a way I could sign up for the payment method Stripe without using my personal phone number, as I didn't want spam being sent to my number. Where I am currently based, Stripe is growing very fast and I wanted many payment methods for my company. Luckily the OTP receiving platform known as [snip] helped me. It has helped as I managed to select a number from my country (United Kingdom) and register it with Stripe. I have faced very little issues so far.
Joe, honey, you're in NZ not the UK and I expect more from than my fellow kiwis than grammatically and factually incorrect spam.
The moral of this story is that if she will ban a fellow kiwi, then she will ban anybody. Be afraid...be very afraid!
