+1 lots of people asking about it
Perhaps their change to allow even free apps to store the real email address was needed as a precursor to storing phone numbers as the main user ID?
I think that was unintentional and a little dangerous to allow anyone to use a free app to scrape email addresses for nefarious purposes.

Thatâs a shame. With a free app theyâd be limited to fewer than 500 email addresses. I mean if the app does anything at all half the rows are gonna be used by real data.
But I see your point.

Please do this feature. It is so important in third world countries. I am experiencing the same problem as anyone in a third world country would. People use phone numbers not emails.

The most voted feature, still nothing ?

However there is a dirty workaround, setup an email2text service, so when it receives an email it automatically sends out an SMS.
There are services available and also it is not too difficult to write one.
This is an expensive feature. Would you pay $0.50 per SMS?

Seems as a very expensive service provider.
0.259 DKK/sms and monthly fee 195 DKK
Could be a direct cost and not included in any plan
1 DKK = 0.14 USD
This will be a very useful feature to have. Please enable this

What about whatsapp verification?
I had another client ask me for this just yesterday. Itâs needed, but I hear itâs really expensive.
For those that need it, perhaps Glide could allow us to point to our own Twillio account.
Hey, Iâm not the technical guy that would know how to do it; Iâm the idea guy.

Hi David
Sms is important but I donât need it.
Please donât add to the plan anytime in the future.
+1 This feature makes a ton of sense.
For those building mobile-first applications itâs a 100% certainty the user has a mobile number. Would definitely make the user experience more streamlined vs needing to rely on them having a 3rd-party email account and a 3rd-party app with access on their mobile.
It could also improve security â If only carrier numbers are allowed (vs VoIP) then you lock your app to a real device. (I know you can dual sim but itâs still a carrier number on a physical device that uses built-in hardware/software not a 3rd-party app) If youâre not building a mobile-first app or just want to allow email access, then the SMS could serve as 2FA for more sensitive apps.
+1 on the integrations route too. That allows the developer the ability to use a service (Twilo, Sinch, etc) that suits their needs and budget for their location and doesnât lock them into a potentially unworkable solution.
