For California local numbers, SMS is limited to person-to-person messaging to comply with US regulations.

All messages sync across devices, and you can set up auto-replies, SMS-to-email forwarding, and message archiving for compliance.
Will a California virtual number work with two-factor authentication?

This is particularly valuable for California expats living abroad who need US numbers for 2FA access to American banks and services. Your California number receives SMS verification codes just like a regular carrier number, and codes appear in your Tossable Digits inbox within seconds. Note that a small number of services (some banks, cryptocurrency exchanges) restrict virtual numbers—contact support if you need verification for specific services before purchasing.
