If you’re looking to add SMS verification to your VoIP service, you may be wondering how to do it without using VoIP. Here’s a guide on how to enable SMS verification without relying on VoIP.
1. How to enable SMS verification without using VoIP
If you want to enable SMS verification without using a VoIP service, you will need to use a third-party SMS service. There are a few different SMS services available, but we recommend using Twilio. To set up SMS verification with Twilio, you will need to create a Twilio account and purchase a phone number. Once you have done that, you will need to create a new project in the Twilio console and set up your project as follows:
In the project settings, under the “Verify” tab, select “Enable Account Verification.” This will allow you to set up your account so that people can verify their phone numbers by SMS.
Next, you will need to set up your project’s callback URL. This is the URL that Twilio will call when someone attempts to verify their phone number. You can set up your callback URL in the “Verify” tab of your project settings.
Once you have set up your callback URL, you will need to add the following code to your callback URL:
account->verifications->create($phone_number, ‘sms’);
// If the verification was successful, respond with a 200
if($check->valid) {
http_response_code(200);
} else {
// Otherwise, respond with a 400
http_response_code(400);
}

2. The benefits of SMS verification
There are many benefits to using SMS verification for your online accounts. SMS verification provides an additional layer of security by requiring a code be entered in order to log in. This code is typically sent to your mobile phone via text message, and can help to prevent unauthorized access to your account. Additionally, SMS verification can help to protect your personal information and data, as well as safeguard your account from being hacked or compromised.
3. How to set up SMS verification
There are a few different ways that you can set up SMS verification without using a VoIP service. One way is to use a SMS gateway service that will provide you with a dedicated phone number to use for verification purposes. Another way is to use a SIM card with a data plan that will allow you to send and receive SMS messages.
4. How to use SMS verification
If you want to enable SMS verification without using VoIP, you will need to use a third-party service. There are many companies that offer this service, so you will need to research which one is right for you. Once you have found a company, you will need to sign up for an account and then follow their instructions on how to set up SMS verification.
5. The advantages of using SMS verification over VoIP
There are a few advantages to using SMS verification over VoIP, even though both methods can be used to verify phone numbers. SMS verification is more widespread and familiar to users, so there is less of a learning curve. Additionally, SMS is more reliable than VoIP, especially in areas with poor internet connectivity. Finally, SMS verification can be used without a data connection, while VoIP requires an internet connection.
