All these problems would be solved if they allowed us to use Google voice number. It is a number that's attached to my email and one that I won't discard (assuming I would lose it due to in activity). But no. Even Uber doesn't allow me to use a Google voice number.

you can get a Google Voice number only if you are in the US, at least when I tried to get one last year it was impossible from Italy.
