When you have tried to increase security by providing a text number to text to.... To my phone, I have only a databased phone number, and that is the only one I have that receives phone calls, (on my iPad) records voice messages, accepts texts... And so, when I provide it to you as my text to my 'phone' number you don't accept it as valid... But it is valid... It's the only number I have.. It is a 'TextMe' phone number. My iPad rings wherever I am in the world with local people calling me free of international charges, and it's great for us. We keep our same two phone numbers in Canada and in USA (two different local area code numbers). It works like a ********... And we never have to get new ones.. New phone numbers, always the same and works in both countries... But... We really really want to use these as our permanent forever phone numbers. And you don't have something in your programming that accepts these as acceptable phone numbers.
