@danlovejoy @bastianallgeier receiving SMS is included on plenty of VOIP/SIP services, so it would "just" be a matter of having a service to bridge SIP to Mastodon.

@bastianallgeier @jmcs Unfortunately, SMSes still cost a little bit, even at huge scale, so you’d have to have some sort of revenue model to pay for them.
