I have a bank account in the US, but they won't allow me to make certain purchases until they unblock my debit card, and they won't do that until I receive a confirmation SMS sent to a US phone number. I don't live in the US. I used to have an US phone number when I travelled there, but I don't anymore. I tried setting up a Twilio phone number but they told me that won't do.

I've been trying to find a service that allows me to rent a "non-voip" phone number but all I find are shady websites, and this website https://dtmf.io/ which seems to provide exactly the service that I need except it's for UK numbers and they're out of numbers anyway. I don't know if I will just have to resign to write a lot of angry messages to my bank until I get tired or they happen to find a magic switch that allows me to receive messages to my local phone number or to my jmp.chat number

I'm curious about the history of the features that modern programming languages have, for example which was the first language to have subroutines and what did they look like, or conditional statements?
