Do Texas virtual phone numbers support SMS, and can I use them for services like WhatsApp or Facebook verification?

All US FlyNumbers, including those from Texas, can receive SMS which will be forwarded to your email. However, we can't guarantee that SMS from two-factor authentication (2FA) or from short code services will work reliably, so they may not be suitable for verifications on platforms like WhatsApp or Facebook.

Some background on Texas and its area codes

Texas, the second-largest state in the United States by both area and population, utilizes numerous area codes due to its vast geographic expanse and the high demand for telecommunications services. The first area code, 214, was established in 1947 to serve the Dallas area, reflecting the state's early embrace of telephone technology.

Over the years, Texas has expanded its area code system significantly to accommodate rapid population growth and telecommunications needs. Notable additions include area code 713 for Houston and 512 for Austin. Texas now employs more than 25 area codes, including overlays like 346 in Houston, to manage its diverse and dense population centers.

Area codes in Texas often reflect historical and economic shifts. For example, the introduction of area code 972 in the Dallas area in 1996 responded to the tech boom and urban expansion. The state's area code system continues to evolve, with new codes regularly introduced to meet growing demand.
