Same, especially since I don't have a smartphone.

Often times I'll go a week without looking at my phone and by then it has lost its charge so if an app requires a OTP to do something I often need to wait a while before it's charged enough to receive a text.

I do have a Google Voice number but I've mistakenly used my real number for a few services that frequently require SMS confirmations.

I use Google Voice when at all possible, but there are a few cases where it doesn’t work. The easiest way to piss me off is to make me use a USA number that isn’t my Google Voice number! It doesn’t help that some services won’t even let me log from a non-USA IP when I’m traveling.
